Phil was my friend. I met him on Water St. in Edmonds WA. He shared a house with my Uncle Tom. Phil was working for ABC communications. He was one of a kind. He would tell me many stories of his mother. He teared up every time. He was a radio man in the Army. His handle when we would “rabbit hunt” term used for CB radio game.

I see you later down the road Phil…
