My condolences to the family. Phil was a great guy. I worked with him many years at Beatrice and then again at John Deere. He was always happy and smiling. It was heartbreaking to learn that he had cancer. His true self showed through in his fight for life. I will never forget how he touched so many lives and how great a person he was. God Bless you Phil and may He bless your family and friends as well.
