Phil loved life and lived it to the fullest; no one could escape his aggravating. You could find him in the crowd just by his laugh. He love being horseback and was a true horseman.

His mother Bonnie rode with him before he could own one himself. Later in life he rediscovered his love for riding Harleys. You could always find him running down the road on his Harley with his cowboy hat on. Family meant everything to Phil, and he made everyone he knew feel like part of his family.
