Phillip was a man of many passions. He found joy in tending to his garden, spent countless hours at the bowling alley, and never passed up a good game of pinochle. An avid deer hunter, he took pride in preparing hearty meals for his family with the game he brought home. Above all, Phillip adored his dogs and found his greatest happiness in time spent with family.
