Philip was a very loving man who managed to touch many people and never forgot anyone, no matter how breif the encounter. He loved his family with all his heart and we loved him. He will be deeply missed and fortunately for us he was a great story teller and we have all of those memories. Godspeed Philip, we will cherish the time that we had with you. Love Always, your family.
