My wife Mary and I were deeply saddened and shocked to learn of Phil's death.We had just seen Phil and Karen earlier this year while they were in the Orlando area. We had not seen them in over 30 years. We had a wonderful visit. Phil was the same Phil I had always known from our high school days. He was truly one of the nicest people I have ever known. He was a blessing in my life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Karen and the family. May Phil rest in peace with God forever.
