In addition to being a loving husband, proud father and grandfather, and Godly businessman, Philip enjoyed Lsu football, spending time with his family, and studying God's word. He will be remembered for his wisdom, generosity, and love of the Lord. Through his love of teaching the Word of God in church and home Bible studies, he enjoyed seeing people grow in the Lord.
