He leaves 3 daughters: Yvette Rhault & Tom Couillard of Spencer, Michelle Rhault of North Brookfield, Erika & Andy Rivers of North Brookfield; and one son Phillip Rhault of North Brookfield.

Philip enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends. He was an avid traveler who liked to take long motorcycle rides and camp in his RV. He loved watching the Red Sox, listening to all types of music, playing pool and wood working.
He loved his family and friends and will be dearly missed by all that knew him.
