He was the life of the party, an adventurer, outdoorsman, artist, avid fisherman, fantastic story teller, great husband, the best father, grandfather, friend, and boss. Anyone that knew him remembers his laughter, jokes, singing, and many talents, but most importantly, his ability to bring people together and make people laugh and enjoy life.

Philip is survived by his wife Janet, his children Janel (Cam) and Christopher (Stacy), grandchildren Trevor and Ainsley (Eli and Holden), siblings Gail,Jan, Jerre and Mary, many nieces and nephews, and family.

Ever the music lover, during his battle with Alzheimer’s he always remembered his favorite songs and would sing along even until his last days.

“And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me

Shine until tomorrow

Let it be.” -The Beatles

A Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held in his honor on November 17, 2024 by his wife Janet and his daughter Janel. Contact Janel for further details: 612-666-0405”
