Phillip B. Rummell died peacefully with family by his side on Friday April 19th. Phillip was born in Houston, TX on November 30, 1938 to Vernon and Katherine Rummell. He graduated from St. Thomas High School in 1957 and University of Houston in 1969 where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Theta fraternity. On September 14th, 1958 he married his high school sweetheart, Marisa L. Turner.
Phil started in the gas compressor industry in 1959 as a shipping clerk and 22 years later was acting president. He left in 1983 to start his own compressor parts business, Productioneered Products Company. 30 years later, now renamed Productioneered Parts Corporation, it is still running strong. In 1996 he purchased an existing company called Uni-Seal Valve located in Ventura, CA which is also running strong today.
Phil didn’t have many hobbies. He had such a strong love for his family, friends and his business that he lived a very fulfilling life. Phil is survived by his wife of 54 years, Marisa Turner Rummell; his two children Mark Rummell and Katherine Rummell; his brother Jerry Rummell and wife Nancy Rummell; and sister Karolyn Denham and husband Bob Denham.

We’d also like to share our complete appreciation to Ted and Maritza Flecher and Dee at The Pines at Oakhurst assisted living facility for their tender loving care and spiritual nurturing of Dad.
