Phil, became my brother-in-law, after the birth of their sweet son Evan. He quickly became a brother to me. Phil was always giving of his heart to provide support and love to me. He was always there to help anyone in need. Mostly what I loved about Phil is how he became involved in the worship of God and committed himself to his glory. This wonderful man will be forever in my heart as a blessing to me.

Rest in Piece my dear sweet brother. RIP
