To the Booth family , I just found out about Phillips passing and even though he and I only ran across each other every few years he will be missed . I remember the great times we had at the Booth /Stanley family picnics when we were kids at Goodyear Heights Metropolitan park . Great times !
Phillip always addressed me as CUZ , short for cousin , no matter how long it had been since we saw each other last . What a great guy he will be truly missed . Please accept my condolences
