where he made many enduring friendships.

Philip worked in the Toys for Tots program serving children with Christmas toys in Etowah and Cherokee County. This was his way of giving back to his community for his Social Security benefits he was given for his support.

Philip was a quiet person loved by all who knew him. He loved his country, his family and all his friends. He was brilliant in so many ways and if one ever could not remember a special date, time, place or occasion, all we needed to do is turn to Phillip and he could give us every detail.

And now he has returned to his Father in Heaven to receive all the spiritual blessings he so richly deserves. Philip was loved and appreciated by all who knew him. Philip will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
