We are so sadden by this news. We met phil a couple of years ago at a car show in Alto. he came up and introduced himself and questioned if we may be related. Being a classic car lover we had a lot in comon. We were just thinking about him on Saturday and was thinking, we may see him at the Danish festival Car show on Saturday. Please except our deepest simpathy in the loss of your loved one. Our pray is that you find peace and comfort in the loved ones, and memories that surround you. ~Mike & Linda, Greenville, Mi
