I agree with Anne, Phil was a very “present” dad, always around when we played games, worked on projects, went on field trips. I’ll remember him fondly.
Phil: I was sorry to hear the news. I met your dad only briefly and knew that he was a good and thoughtful person. My thoughts are with you and with your family. Feel free to call me to chat about whatever, as it’s always good to hear your voice. Carlos
Beth : We wish to express our sympathy in your loss and to let you know that our thoughts are with you. At a time such as this, words cannot express our feelings.
