Mark and I were so sad to hear about Phil. We have many fond memories and he even delivered our wedding rings from Saudi Arabia. I’ll always remember what a beautiful relationship he had with Linda. They taught me a lot. I’m so thankful to have a beautiful box made by Phil and will think of him every time I use it. He is finally with the love of his life. Condolences to the entire family and especially his boys.
