Uncle Phil was such a caring, loving, and awesome man. Words cannot fully describe how many lives he has touched. He put aside his needs for others, always there for everyone. For my brother Mike and I, he was there to airplane spin us around as toddlers, always there to make us little boys happy and giggle. He would tinker around and fix our cars as we grew, and even in later adult years, work on electrical and air conditioner problems in my home. Uncle Phil was a brilliant man and the greatest Uncle and handyman I ever knew. Never a nasty word about anyone passed his lips. He was a man of God and seen the good in everyone. Anyone who knew Uncle Phil has been truly blessed. He is up there in heaven now with all his family and friends who have passed before him, just waiting for us to join them. We need to pray for Uncle Phil's family to get through this difficult time and ask God to wrap his ever loving arms around them and help guide them as only He can do. Thank you Uncle Phil for all your love, guidance, and memories. Rest in peace, we love you and miss you.
