He enjoyed cooking, which made sense, because of his love for  food. Phil liked golf, boating and fishing. He was an avid Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavs fan. He loved to travel, especially to Gettysburg, and was a huge Civil War enthusiast. He was hard working, intelligent, witty and family oriented. He will be greatly missed by all.
