You will be forever missed, my second father/godfather, I hope to see you in the shining light that we get taken to when we move on, gone but never forgotten in our lives. Goodbye Unclet Phil, I love you. I was so torn and in pain to say anything when Aunty Stella passed, but I'm so happy you can finally be with her once again.  I have the best of wishes for Jodi, Jessica, Britany and Kaylee in their heartbreak from such a painful loss, if any of you need someone to talk about fond memories, my door is always left open for everyone.

Sorry Jodi and family, Uncle was the best! He was genuine and selfless. I have so many good memories of him.  I remember how he used to recook leftover Chinese food. As a young child Chinese food wasn’t my favourite except when uncle would work his magic the following day and share his creation with us. I remember the toboggan he got for Jodi. He put a thick cushion on it, and covered the cushion with a blanket. It was a comfortable toboggan. I remember him taking us to the Assiniboine park toboggan slide. It was very icy and steep. He held that toboggan in place until we were seated and sent us on our way. When we got back to the top he was helping other kids with their toboggan’s too. He was so kind. He was a hard worker. I remember him coming out to the field where we often played. He would help organize us kids into teams so we could play a decent game of baseball. Probably during his free time. He was selfless.  All my memories of uncle Phil are of his hard work and goodness. He was dependable and one of a kind. Jodi said it best, “my dad loved with his whole heart!”  He was a remarkable human being.  I will miss him. Everyone will miss him.  RIP uncle Phil. Love you! ❤❤ Your niece Nadine

Sorry Jodi and family, Phil was always there when anyone needed help, rain, snow, or sunshine. He helped me a lot. When I had no car he would drive me to work and pick me up. He never complained. He was the best brother-in-law, and will be missed by anyone that knew him. Sister-in-law  Mary ❤
