Phil, meeting you changed my life for the better. You gave me the motivation and the courage to go back to school while raising my son, working full time and dealing with life. You have always been more than just a friend and mentor. You became family to me, my son and my husband. Your encouraging words, your faith and your belief is what helped me through so much all these years. When Martin got sick you called or text to check in everyday even as you dealt with your own medical issues. I will forever appreciate you, love you and remember you. My prayers to your family. As you always told me your wife and kids are and will always be the best part of you. May God continue to guide, protect and cover them with the strength, love and protection that will always continue to be you. May you SIP dear friend. Love you🙏🏼😔
