Phil was the only person i have come in contact with my life that i was never able to get mad at. He always had something quick to say, or one of his classic one liners. He will be very missed. I know where ever he is, he's making every one there laugh and feel better about them selves..because thats what he was best at. The next time i play caribean poker..i'll be hoping to hit the Phil (the jack pot)

To the Pratt family,
I am sorry for your loss. I work at ElectroCraft in Dover and Phil delivered our food each day. We always stood at the door waiting for the little black truck to arrive and would hold the doors open for him. He was always so friendly and was very proud of his grand daughter which he spoke of often. Each day when he would leave I would say "See you tomorrow" and he always had the same answer. "If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise!" I am going to miss him even though I only shared a very few moments of his life with him.

Aunt Barbara & Gretchen,
My deepest condolences. I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Philip. I am thankful that I had more opportunities recently to see uncle Philip while he was working in Dover. Every now and then over the past year or two I would run into him and we would chat for a bit. Please let me know if there is anything I can do in these sad times.

To the Pratt Family,
Phil always came into the Irving in Northwood and I could always count on him giving me grief about something, I would always give it right back to him. He had a great sense of humor and always made me laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
