Phillip G McCoy

“The sky sure is pretty. Sunshine’s puttin’ the color on it!”-PGM

Phillip McCoy’s sunshine put color on us. He’s a soft spoken, humble man whose words radiated with sunshine, whose quick wits propelled bursts of sunshine, whose kindness and grace saw sunshine in everyone, whose persistence and hard work created sunshine on the rainiest days, whose gentle spirit and loving heart filled others with sunshine, too. Sunshine is love; Phil is the sun.
