I knew Phil for 12 years. I had the great fortune of seeing him almost every day for 6 months of each year. Phil always had a smile and a story. I especially loved when he would come downstairs to my office to kibbitz. Many times Phil and I went to lunch or dinner together and I treasure those memories ... he would always tell the server to make sure my soup was hot (as he knew me well)!!!! His love for his family was admirable and he "bragged" often about his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He adored and loved Sydell and her family. Phil was always up on current affairs and he was my "go-to" guy when it came to sports questions or scores! It was a pleasure knowing him. I was glad to be a part of his life, I loved him and will miss him! My deepest sympathy to his loved ones! Love, Amy Heather
