Carl Keaser
Phil was my brother-in-law and dear friend. He died on September 5, 2007 after a brave battle with cancer. He was a loving husband and father. He worked 30 years for the Newark City Schools and loved children. He was a show car enthusiast and loved to hunt and fish. Phil touched many lives in his 63 years of life, he is truly missed.Pam Pipes (Long)
Phil was always a nice guy, I can remember what great skaters he and his wife were at the Roll-A-Way Club, I was surprised to learn he had passed. Missed it in the paper. Didn't know Carl Keaser was his brother-in-law, or Phil was battling cancer. Sorry.
