We had snowball fights with ALL of the other fraternity houses on campus. They would come to our house as we had the most windows. Phil and I would go out on the Porch open to major snowballs being thrown but he and I never relented. We remained until they left. Delta Tau Delta at Butler University

Phil and I had some great times as Delts at Butler University. He and I had girlfriends that were DG´s and went to some dances together. We enjoyed going to the Indy 500 while at Butler. He was full of energy and life and made my experience at Butler a very memorable one! May he wrap his arms around your family in comfort! Rest Easy my friend....

My heart is heavy with this news. Phil was a kind, energetic and compassionate man when I knew him as a Delt at Butler. And while the years got away from us, I´ll never forget the impact he made on my life.

I worked with Phil at Merck for many years, I have so many great memories of him when we worked the region meetings. He was the kindest person, learned so much from him, had alot of laughs, I will miss him. He always said I was the "Bomb", he loved his family, he always smiled when he talked about his family and how they were doing in medical school and when they graduated. He will be missed.
