Phil served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam conflict as a B-52 Crew Chief based out of Thailand. After serving his country, he moved to California and built a happy and successful life as a heavy equipment operator with the Operating Engineers. After retirement, he and Donna moved to Prescott, where he pursued and spent as much time as humanly possible traveling with Donna, fishing, hunting and tinkering. Phil was a man of strong convictions and love of life. He fought the hard fight in all that he did and for what he believed in. He loved his family deeply and spent time with them whenever possible. He will be greatly missed. A memorial service to celebrate his life will be at 2 p.m. Friday, June 3, 2016, at Heights Church, 2121 Larry Caldwell Drive in Prescott.
