Even though I had not seen Phil in almost 50 years, I have fond memories of him when we were growing up in Greenview. He was a very good guy, and a lot of fun to be around. My deepest condolences to his family.

My condolences to Phil’s family, and especially to Kay. Phil and I spent lots of time together as pre-teens, and he was a great friend and companion for many adventures on the farm and at Homer’s pond. He was among the nicest men I know of; kind and friendly. He was a good athelete and a great teammate.

I’m so sorry to hear of your fathers passing, Lynn. He was a fun guy when he came in to Casey’s. As well as years ago when we hung out together. Thinking of you all!
