Phil you will be remembered….
“ Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees in a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, February 19, 2023 at 2 p.m. at the United Methodist Church in Lochloosa, FL.
