Carolyn and Family, So sorry to hear of Phil's passing. He was one of the "sane" hockey parents that Dick and I were fortunate enough to interact with for several years. Sincerely, Gerry

I got my start in business with a paper route and that lead to a spot in the circulation department where I was trained by Phil and he got me promoted to doing the mail distribution a position he had held--the lessons he taught me , I applied for the next 60 plus years in the workforce. Thank you, Phil
