“Phil was a truly exceptional man! I was blessed to have him enter my life in April of 1996. He was more than a wonderful friend and mentor. I have so many fond memories. He taught me so many things both personally and professionally. He was kind and patient and always made time to listen. I am a better person for having had him in my life. Heaven has gained a true angel!!! Until we meet again, Charlene Bigger”

I was on the Youth and Family Institute Board with him for many years, and what a gift he was to that work. I am thanking God for such a faithful example to me and to our organization. My heart is with you all in your loss. I will be attending the funeral on Friday, and look forward to connecting with you all. Nancy Going and Vibrant Faith Ministries.”
