Sorry to hear of Phil´s passing. My son Jason who works for Averitt trucking at AO Smith just called and told me. Phil and I grew up in Blackbottom. We all spent a lot of time at the Boys Club shooting pool. Jason and I ran into him at the German restaurant once. My Dad and his Dad JD were really close. Prayers for your family.

I was saddened to see Phil's obituary. We both worked for Thomas Industries in the early 70s. He was always a lot of fun to be around.
