Phillip was the most kind, thoughtful, and loving person anyone could have the pleasure of knowing. He always had a smile, and always looked for ways to put a smile on your face if you where having a bad day! He was a wonderful man, and an uplifting presence, and he will be surly missed by all who loved him!
Phillip was always there for everyone. Always asking if he could help. And always found the funny side to a situation and loved making someone laugh. He cared deeply for the well being of others, especially for the elderly and children who needed assistance. He talked so much about his mother, always concerned about her welfare and that she was happy. He spoke so kindly many times of his brother and sisters. I haven’t met a more kinder man. Phillip will be greatly missed by us all!
