Phil friended me on Facebook because he enjoyed my music. I only know him for the interactions we had online. I got to know about him as things went on and found out about his career and service to the community. An honorable life to say the least.
I wish all who loved him peace a healing and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to learn of Phil and his life.
With out the friend request I would have missed all of it.
Rest well Phil, you didn’t more than was required of you in their life and set an example for those who follow in your footsteps.
Just a fellow human
