Upon completion of his minor league career, Phil enlisted in the U.S. Airforce, where he served active duty in Korea from 1953 to 1957. After returning from Korea Phil married his high school sweetheart, Patricia. Their beautiful love story lasted for 70 years, until Patricia's passing in 2021.

Phil was always a hard worker. He formed his own property management company, Maron Inspections, which grew with the partnership of his son Mark.
