Phil enjoyed vacationing at the Rhode Island shoreline, deep sea fishing and surf casting and enjoying libations. He was an avid bird lover, phenomenal cook and made the best crème brulee ever. He enjoyed woodworking as a hobby and tinkering around the house. Phil loved the outdoors, especially getting some Vitamin D. He loved his family deeply and was happiest when they were altogether. Always quick to smile and lend a hand, Phil’s kindness to everyone will never be forgotten.
