Phil was an exceptional man. One like no other. He meant many things to many people. He was first and foremost a dedicated family man. He loved his wife and kids deeply. He was so proud of them and was not shy about telling everyone about his pride for them. He also had a tremendous amount of pride for his job, working in EMS as a paramedic. He truly believed in doing things the right way and giving exceptional care. He helped and cared for many people during his time with us. Phil was a dreamer and always had his next business venture in the works. No matter what Phil did he did it with all his heart and gave it everything he had. He was an inspiration to many. Spending time with his family was one of the many things he liked to do, playing with the kids outdoors or going fishing. He made a simple trip to circle K for drinks and snacks fun for his kids. He liked to hike and enjoyed nature and feeding the birds. Phil also loved to sing karaoke, he met his wife Amy doing just that. He loved trivia and carried around a small notebook with random facts he liked to quiz people on. He had American pride and believed in purchasing “made in the USA” products whenever possible. Phil was loving, kind, generous, funny, inspiring, intelligent, hardworking, and he just cared…a lot!
