Phil received his high school diploma and went on to P.C.C. and received many certificates and worked as a Logistics Technician for many years.

Phil did not want sorrow or guilt or pain. He would want you to play a song, have a drink and keep your good memories in your heart and say this is not goodbye, it’s see you later, sap sucka’s, plad’s, and KOOKS!

HAKUNA MATATA.
