So sorry you had to go alone Uncle Phil. You are/were loved by many and you will also be missed by many. I remember our times together with the Operas that were put on in your room when I was a little girl. I loved my opera stars and their beautiful gowns that you painted on their characters. RIP with Grandma and Grandpa and my Mom.

My condolences to Phillip’s family . I worked with Phil at UW Extension for most of the 1970s. Not only was he was professional to the T, but he was very personable. I learned a lot about his love of miniatures from him and missed him when I left for another position . I am saddened by this news but I know he gave joy to those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
