Philip was an avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed bow hunting, fishing and boating. He took a lot of pride in his home, everyone said “he had the nicest lawn on the block.” Above all else, his greatest achievement was his family. Of all the titles he may have possessed, his best titles were that of husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He enjoyed the times that he was able to spend with his family.
