Phillip worked a number of jobs as he and Carol built and supported their family, including at IU, GE, Rumpke, and High Speed Tire. He touched many with his warm humor and mischievous smile. As a mechanic, he was always available to provide advice and lend a helping hand when asked. He enjoyed the casinos, playing cards, fishing, and mushroom hunting, but his greatest joy was spending time with his family.
