Philip touched many lives with his contagious smile, his quick wit, his vast knowledge of the world and his willingness to lend an ear whenever anyone needed it. Phil went above and beyond as often as possible to take care of those around him Philip was an amazing person, a wonderful son, and a good friend to many and will be loved forever.
This is the motto Philip lived by:
You could leave life right now.
Let that determine what you say and do and think.
