To the family of Phil Thacker
I was sorry to hear of Phil's passing, and your loss. I worked with Phil on many occasions over the past years and I had thought of him often since he left last Fall. The many customers and friends he made while in Fredericksburg will miss him as I will. My thoughts and prayers are with you all now.
With my sympathy.
