Phillip will be missed by so many. I live at 210 East Pearson where I had the chance to see Phillip each day. I enjoyed talking to him and telling jokes and to share stories on how much we loved our dogs (he loved his dog Zoe). He always loved my food when I shared with him (at least that is what he told me!). I am sad to think we have lost such a nice man so suddenly. He will be greatly missed everytime I arrive home and whenever I make a nice meal that I would like to share with him. I appreciated his kindness and all his help. I am sorry to his family for such a loss.

Phil will be greatly missed! He was always a ray of sunshine with a warm greeting home. I will think of him whenever the Cubs play, and probably everytime I come through the door at 210 Pearson. Terri Hanson

We are friends of Phillip from 210 East Pearson. Phillip always had a smile and a kind word for us, especially when talking about the Cubs. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Phillip's family and friends during this tough time.
