Such a short notice for Phil's passing. He was such a kind person and always there for his friends whenever they needed a helping hand or just someone to talk to. I remember Phil always smiling and liking people, without any ulterior motive for his kindness. I don't remember Phil having any enemies because he seemed to like everyone. I remember when he went out with Lynn in their sophmore year and how he treated her with such respect and coutesey. It was the first time I saw a teenage boy not care about his ego or how it would look to other guys, he must have had a good mom who taught him to respect women. I prayed for his family when I had heard he died and continue to pray that they remember all of the good things that he did and stood for. God Bless, Chris BorszczBarbara Whitmore (Bledsoe)
