I am truly sorry for your loss. Phil meant a lot to me & I enjoyed every minute I had to talk, listen, & joke with him at Mis. He was a strong man that endured more than anyone should ever endure in a life time. I was crushed to hear of his loss when I was expecting his return. I pray for his soul and pray that he's found peace and comfort at the side of God. Phil will forever be in my thoughts and I thank him for blessing me with his presence these past few years.

I was so so sad to hear that Philip had died. He was a true hero and endured more pain and suffering for such a long time than any person I have ever known. He was my friend and whenever we were together I felt blessed. I will miss him dearly.
