I am so sorry for your loss I know that you have absolutely no clue of who I am but this man taught me how to count on my swing set in Atlanta GA when I was 4 years old he was definitely my hero and he will never be forgotten

Praying for the family! I met Phil through my husband Marty. They were on the ship together and Phil was one of his mentors. He was always there with an encouraging word. He will be missed.
