It pains me to do this, but it must be done. Many of you know that Phil passed away sometime Tuesday night, Wednesday morning. As you can imagine, there are many expenses that have to be covered with his passing.

Phil was always the person you could call for help when needed. He drove 2 hours to come to my house recently, just because I mentioned I had a problem. Then wanted nothing in return for helping. That’s who Phil was. He was a lifelong friend to many of us.

Help is needed on covering the cost of the cremation and such. Any extra will be split up and given to his kids. If everyone could just pitch in a little, it would help. This was definitely unexpected, and any help that could be given will be appreciated.

After everything gets taken care of, we will have a celebration of life for Phil; details will come. Until then, hug your loved ones and pick up that phone and say hi to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. Life is too short, and you never know when it will end. We’ve lost a lot over the years. It doesn’t get any easier. Love you all!!!!
