Phil enjoyed everything outdoors, spending time with family, and serving others. He was truly an inspiration and an example of what it means to "Never Give Up". Following his recent illness, he was driven and dedicated to get better, although God's plan was greater than ours. He worked hard his entire life to accomplish his goals and to take care of his family.
