I just heard of your loss. I will always remember Phil as a loving and giving person. As a child he was always concerned about others and from what I have heard about his adult life this remained a strong characteristic. Your family remains in my prayers. I am sure that Phil is watching over all of you and his prayers will join mine. May God give you peace and joy.

Krissy, I am so sorry to hear about Phil. He always had a smile when we saw him. He fought a hard battle. Superman style! Love and prayers for all of you.

I only knew Phil for about two years.(Met his wife Krissy thru softball) Whenever he was at the field to watch her he had a seat waiting for me and ready to talk about anything. I enjoyed the conversations we had and wished I could of known him longer. He was a great guy to be around. My prayers are with Krissy and their families.

Phil fought so bravely! Our family will always have fond memories of him, Marc's involving beer at Sean O'Casey's, and I smile about him having a "Buy One Get One Entree Free" coupon at Dave and Buster's and eating both himself.
We are sending lots of love to Krishna and the rest of Phil's family.

Phil was such a genuinely nice guy, who was always up for a laugh. I will always picture him dancing & doing "The Sprinkler." Even when things looked bleak, he was always optimistic & grateful. My deepest sympathy & condolences to Krishna & his family.
