I can't believe it's been 2 years since you passed trying to move forward isn't easy they'll have ups and downs I know you're watching over me you're still in my heart I light this candle for you on this day

Hello Phil,
Sorry to have missed out on your life after I lost connection with you back in the 90's. You have been a very close friend at Westwood and ASU. Good to see Dee is still living. Had a lot of fun at your house, never forget when Frank redid the kitchen cabinets and sat down for a smoke and burned up the kitchen.

Hey son, this is your Mom

I can’t tell you how proud I am of you ! And of everything you have accomplished in your life.
It’s really hard to out live one of your children! 
Save me a place I hope I get to come soon and we can be together again ! Haha
I would much rather do that then stick around here at 96! Haha
Love you son!
Mom

I would like to share a poem I wrote.....

I have a brother that fits the bill
His name just so happens to be Phil

We were born where it’s very green
It rains a lot but the air is clean

We fought as kids do , I can’t deny
But our love for each other could fill the sky

He was a ham operator and a good one too
His room was filled with equipment, it looked like a zoo

Dedicated to his family and adores them so
He looks down with love on us below

He fought at the end with all his heart
His wife Debbie by his side from the start

To God he goes with many tears in our eyes
But we know he is safe till we all arrive.

Love and miss you Bro!
With love, your sister ❤️

One time we were on vacation when we were little kids to see some family Phil and I didn’t even know. So out of boredom ( he knew how I loved horses) with a string in his mouth and a towel on his back he got on his hands and knees and let me ride him like a horse ! NOW THAT IS QUITE A BROTHER RIGHT ? The whole thing is so funny to think back on cause generally I annoyed the heck out of him! Lol

He was a GOOD BROTHER ! he even cut off the end of my finger when we were kids (by accident of course! ) but then protected me from any harm till it healed. Then we went back to doing the normal brother /sister fighting thing lol!

I will miss you bro!
