I am so saddened to hear of Phillip's death. Phillip, who I had not seen since 1979, was a bandmate of mine at Catholic High. Although we were not close friends, I always remember him as being a fun-loving guy, who was liked by everyone who knew him.

My heart and prayers go out to Phillip's loved ones.

Sincerely,

Thomas Wood
Catholic High '78

Mrs. Massey:
My wife, Wendy, and I worked with Phil at the City-Parish for many years. Phil was good friend to both of us and will be missed. He always had a good story to share and nice smile that made you feel better. I will miss our occasional telephone calls in the future. May the peach of Christ be with you and your familiy at this difficult time.
