Phil was a great person and co-worker. Never afraid to speak his mind. I had the pleasure of playing many a round of golf with him at OCCC and many scrambles. He was a very proud family man that adored his wife and loved his children. God Bless his family in this time of loss.

My wife Myrna and I wish to express our condolences to Barbara and the family on their loss. We were Heather Hill neighbors with Phil and his family for many years. I also have fond memories of the many times I had the opportunity to play golf with Phil. May he rest in peace!
