Penny, Mark and Jeff- I was shocked and saddened to hear of Phil's passing. I have fond memories of the little chats I had with Phil during the first half of my life (even after moving, our families were just across the street); now another twenty years later, I'm amazed at how fast time goes by. Even though I only worked at Norfolk Southern for one summer, Phil referred to me as "Old Timer" every time we met; he had a knack for putting someone at ease right away. Growing up, for me, Phil was more than a good neighbor, he was like my second dad. One of my earliest childhood memories was meeting Santa Claus; I still remember being so utterly amazed. It wasn't until many years later that I learned who our neighborhood Santa really was. My life has been much richer for having known you all. Please know that Phil will be missed and that you all are in my thoughts and in my heart. Peace and Grace be with you always.
