I hadn't spoken with Phil is several years, but the joy he brought to every single conversation will always be imprinted in my DNA. He was one of the people who helped me remember how much good there is in the world.

Phil, So long my friend, It was an honor and a privilege to have been your friend for all this time. I've had so many great memories of the fun we had when we were kids. You've been nothing less than a totally great person. The world was lucky to have you pass through! Rest now Phil, you in a much better place and it could happen to a better guy!

I too went to high school with Phil and remember him to have been a decent and really fun loving guy. My prayers go out to all

I went to Sperry High School with Phil, and we hung around some of the same people. He was such a funny, friendly guy and everybody wanted to be his friend. Even though I hadn´t seen him in many years he was one of those people you didn´t forget.
I´m so sorry for your loss, please except my condolences.
