Phil had many talents and hobbies that he excelled at. He was a Sign Painter by trade, like his Mother and Grandfather. He belong to the Painter's Local 363 for many years and took pride in knowing his murals and signs would be enjoyed for years to come by all who saw them. Phil also like to paint pictures with a fondness for Oil Paints. He also was an accomplished cook, He loved nothing more than to have the family together to feast on whatever he grilled up that day. He took great pride and joy in his Nieces and Nephews and always looked forward to seeing the Greats. Each one of them held a special place in his heart and him in theirs. Uncle Phil's lap was a favorite place to be for each one. He had many close friends that he considered his family as well. His love of music and his skill with both a guitar and the Blues Harmonica will be remembered by all who knew him. He could usually be found in a friend's garage on weekends jammin' together or entertaining the group with his wit and stories. Phil will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
