Chairadio Family,

So sorry to learn of the passing of Phil who I had know for over 50 years. We were hunting partners with the late Frank William, Bob Schilke his brother in-law, and Santo Algiere Jr., I know these guys welcomed Phil into the spirit world. Phil was on the shy side but once you got him going he would make you laugh. Phil will live on in the hearts of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Rest in peace Phil you lived a good life.

Lt. Ret Byron Brown WPD
