Mr. and Mrs. Glover and Samantha, I am so very sorry for your loss. I am a friend of Phil's from college and have continued our friendship post-graduation. He was an amazing friend, who wore his heart on his sleeve. Phil was a friend who could truly be counted on. While I am deeply saddened by his passing, I am happy I had the chance to be a friend of his. Again, please accept my deepest sympathy.

Mr. and Mrs. Glover and Samantha. I am so sorry for your loss. I was brand new to Softmart/Connection however Phil was always so nice and helpful and always had a smile. He was so willing to help and extend his knowledge. He was quiet but you could tell he was a gentle soul. Sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

There are no words to describe the sadness I feel at Phil's passing. I could tell you countless stories of his fun spirit while he was a PACEr. But probably the story that sticks out the most took place during one of our trainings for Orientation when the PACErs were the leaders for the Character U Pods. At the end of the longest day...which involved a ropes course with lots of walking and outdoor activity...Phil came up to me and let me know that he had a really bad sunburn on the tops of his feet (which he came back to school with from summer vacation). He was clearly in a lot of pain. I told him that he should have let me know in the morning and that we would have let him sit out. He said something along the lines of "what kind of leader and role model would I be if I sat out of this day? I needed to be here for my group." That is the kind of guy Phil was...a true gentleman who quietly inspired all of those around him. He will live in my heart forever. He will ALWAYS be a member of our PACE family! My deepest prayers are with all of Phil's family.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Glover and Samantha, I am so sorry for your loss. Words can't explain how nice of a young man your son and brother was. I worked with Phil at Connections for several years. Phil was one of my favorite people to see each day. He always had funny comment or a quick jab to share. We spent many lunches working out together and shared many laughs with one another. I want to thank you for raising such a nice young man. He was truly special.

So shocked and saddened to hear about Phil's passing. He was always such a kind and thoughtful person. We had so much fun with him in the office. I can still remember his smile and laugh. He will be sorely missed by his DeSales family.

Mr. and Mrs. Glover and Samantha-
I was so sorry to hear of Phil's passing. I was Phil's mentor for a few years at DeSales, and we got to know each other very well. We had fun together traveling to Ohio for a PACE conference, and together planned dozens of events for the organization. Phil had such a hilarious and dry sense of humor, but an endlessly caring spirit. He used to give me rides to class when it rained, and I used to thank him for taking care of me, his at-school "mom". I can't tell you what a positive impact your son and brother had on me. Thinking and praying for you.
