Cathy, Phil was a great friend to me when we both were much younger. I loved to hear him laugh and tell stories. He was quite the salesman, and he and I worked together many times and pooled our mutual strengths to help each other make more money as a team than we could have working separately. He always treated me as a kid brother, and I was glad for his companionship. I will always remember two days we were working together at Orkin 1. We were under a house trying to make a quick inspection and head back to Rocky Mount – all of a sudden, he was yelling and wielding a huge screwdriver like Zoro. When I shined my light on him, he was engaged in battle with a small alligator. 2. Once he and I were assigned to inspect a courthouse in Windsor. We crawled for over an hour, but stopped under a courtroom where the floor had rotted through – we just laid there, watching the judge and listening to the case. Out of nowhere, he said, Hey, know what I love you! At first I thought some big tease was coming, but then I knew he meant it. He has always been a special friend in my memories! I am sorry for the loss his death brings to the family. I know he will be greatly missed. You and the family will be in my thoughts and prayers as you adjust to the days ahead. With great respect, Dr. Fred T. Daniel, Jr. Brookhaven Baptist Church Greensboro, NC

Phil, Was an awesome man. I surely will miss him. I will never forget he told someone that I was his daughter one day so we had an outstanding joke for many years. I thought alot of Phil. He was a very sweet and caring man. RIP Phil!!
My condolence to the family. May the God Almighty, comfort you with his word Ps. 3729, is a promise for the future. All thou the Bible we are given words of comfort, for our loss, in times of grief. One of my favorite verses is John 1125, Jesus said I am the resurrection & the life. It is thru this promise that we can look forward to seeing our loved ones again.
