It has been years since I've seen Philip, but he was one of the nicest guys I knew in high school. He always offered kind words with sincerity, help to those in need, and endless compassion.

I had no idea he joined the Marines, but I'm not shocked. Philip was selfless and possessed a quiet strength. No doubt, he impacted those he served with as he protected our nation.

May Philip's legacy of kindness lift your heart and bring you joy during this time of sadness; He is with God. I will keep you in my prayers.

I was recently thinking of you and wondering what you were up to. Clearly, you were doing great things and have now gone home.

It was a pleasure to have been your friend.
