Phillip, my first friend when we moved to Spring Grove. The memories come flooding back, Riding up and down on the go kart, you trying to kill a fly on your window with a dinky car and it went thru the window, luckily dad was at hand to come over and reglaze it, or the massive huts we would build up the railway line, such fun times. Then you moved over to Teapot valley , we saw you less often then but still fun visits. Although its years since ive seen you, thanks Phillip for those great childhood memories. Huge hugs and love to all Phillips family at this very sad time.

We will miss you more than words can say. You have always been an awesome friend to Russ and me and our children Kaitlyn and Cody. You had the biggest heart and were always there for us no matter what. Many drinking sessions and solving the world's problems were had, and we will be forever grateful for all the awesome times we had on the farm with the kids and the laughs we had. You brought me out of my shell Phil and I will be forever grateful. Our thoughts and love are with Lisa and the family. Rest in Peace our friend.

So sorry to hear you've joined me in the widow's club this year Lisa. Thinking of you and your family and remembering lots of fun times on the farm with Phil when we were kids. Even back then there was something about him - he was definitely a special guy. Joanna Shennan (Carson).
