Phil loved the outdoors, especially traveling back to Calhoun County, West Virginia, where he’d hunt, fish, camp, and ride four wheelers. He was well known for his horse shoe and corn hole skills, and never turned down a game of Euchre.

Phil is also survived by his siblings, Janice Novak, Lucy (Ed) Hill, and Bill (Becky) Collins, along with many loving nieces and nephews.
Phil was preceded in death by his father Hollie Kelley, his mother and step-father Lovie and Grover Collins, and his first wife Velda Kelley.
