I was so sorry to hear Phil passed away so suddenly. He was the kindest soul. When my husband passed away, Phil came to my house and tried to help me navigate the papers I needed for taxes. I had never done it before and was overwhelmed. I will never forget his kindness and support during that difficult time. He talked about his family and his love for you all.
My deepest condolences to you and your family.

I enjoyed 6 weeks with Phil and Neil in Israel in our early teen years. That year is my only, and thus a permanent recollection of these great souls; gregarious, funny, friendly, intelligent & talented seeking to be close to the Lord in Eretz Yisrael.
