Very sad to hear , although I only remember old days as I haven’t seen Phil since we were young but I remember playing games and having Christmas mornings together as kids the arrangement of pictures selected in the photo biography brings me back to that time like it was yesterday.

It is hard to see the turquoise earrings, but one of the early photos is proof he let you dress him up.😄

Cynthia, Merle and I are so sorry to hear of your loss, we never knew your son but knowing you and Wayne we are sure he was a fine man, so sorry,

I'm super grateful to have grown up next door to my cousin Phil. I remember when he was just a baby, and how immediately he and Steve picked up Uncle Wayne's passion for the blues and Stevie Ray when they were wee boys. I remember how sweet he was, (pretty sure he let Erin and I dress him up like a doll!) And I remember how smart he grew to be by the time I was old enough to babysit him. Blunt, too, at times, but still sweet. We were so lucky to have shared a street, a community, and family vacations. We saw less of eachother as adults, but I remember driving him and Cassie up to folk fest the year before Madeline was born. I was so impressed by this cool and clever young couple as I got to know them better in the hours we spent in line to camp. I was alone at the festival that year after some plans fell through, and was always welcomed when I stopped in at their site.

I'm so grateful that my kiddo had the chance to spend time with Madeline -- and Eric -- when she was little, because of how much growing up with cousins meant to me. Phil's loss is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for my aunt and cousins.

Sending my love.

I'm so sorry Cynthia. I never had the opportunity to meet Phillip, but he sounds like a great guy. He left you a great treasure, being Madeline. Please have comfort in knowing friends from long ago are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Please take care.

It breaks our hearts . Phil was a a very good friend to our son Adam . They both struggled to end the cycle of addiction. I remember Phil with such fondness, he was generous with his time , meeting us for coffees and talking with us after we lost Adam. He kept Adam company, lived with him for a time., they supported each other trying to escape their demons . Phil was so clever , an intelligent young man. He cared very much for others. We are so very sorry for your loss. Our boys deserved better.
