Phil lived just around the corner from me in Plainfield. Was a quiet guy but friendly.

He will be dearly missed. He was such a big part of our lives for so many years. He was a good man with a big heart as well as a wealth of talent and knowledge. We couldn't have asked for a more dedicated friend and team member.
