Oh my! So surprised to hear this. I have been looking for him for a long time.
Knew Phil all thru grade and High school. Lived on Lawrence right up the street from me. Spent a lot of time at the playground playing baseball with our pack (Tom Gragg, Brad Batistini, Dennis Quintet, & B. Ermentrout).
RIP Phil.
