Philip loved the Young and the restless, his cat “Santana,” who was everything to him. He thought of his nieces and nephews as his own kids. Philip always loved a good time and playing poker with his family. He loved the outdoors, sitting by the fire, camping, and fishing. He was a fun and caring person to be around.

Although it’s going on 50 years since we were growing up together down on Derby St., sometimes it seems like it was yesterday.
