Phil, or "Fuel" as my husband Bill hasvcalled him since their days on the ramp at Charlotte Douglas Airport, was the kindest, funniest and most sincerely honest person I've ever met. When he was with you he truly was with You. He had a joy for life that was contagious and I always felt better for having spent time with Phil. He loved his wife and he was absolutely crazy in love with his four grandkids. He always had great stories about them. They nurtured each another and I believe each of them will take Phil's love with them on their journey through life. It was so sad to see Phil leave this plane of existence, shocking really, but in the light of eternity and the fullness of time, we rejoice in the blessed assurance that Phil has left a body that no longer serves him and he woke up free, rejoicing with our Lord in heaven.
