Phil was one of the kindest, smartest, and most considerate people I have ever met. Despite all the hardships MS gave him for decades, I was constantly amazed by his unwillingness to give up his cheery and thoughtful disposition. I’ve learned a lot from Phil’s enduring spirit, and I will remember him fondly.

Dear Loretto, Mark and Paul,
I will miss Phil very much. He was a wonderful inspiration to me as a friend and fellow chemist. I remember him walking up to my parents’ front door to pick me up for babysitting when I was a teenager and so appreciated our conversations about faith and science. I was so happy that I had a good visit with him when I was last home in March. My prayers are with him and all of you.
Dear Tracy,
Phil and I were very grateful for your continued visits over the years. The sharing and love were very much appreciated.

Aunt Loretta and family, we are sending our deepest condolences and loads of love. I have fond memories as a young girl, visiting you and Phil (pre Paul and Mark) with uncle Dave, Phil always took a true interest in what was going on around him, even as a child I knew his questions about what was going on in our lives, were thoughtful and sincere. He always carried himself through his struggles with the same sincere heart and wonderful sense of humor. May you find comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering. May he rest in peace.
Brad, Jackie and family.
