Reid Fairburn, friend for 75 yr. Philip was always a great buddy of mine who always was there to help and protect me in the school years as i was nowhere near as strong as Phil . We were apart for years while in the service. In the later years we got closer and spent more time harrassing each other with names of Plumber and Pilot. He laughed at my plumbing skills and made trips to fix my big problems. He has always been there to help. I already miss him but will join him soon. We both loved motorcycles. We had a lot of fun together throughout his life and he is in a wonderful place now.

My heart is broken for you, Dorothy, and your family. May you find comfort in knowing your love and amazing cooking (Dorothy) kept Phil strong for many, many years. Though he struggled with his health, he always had a huge smile whenever I stopped by. May you find peace in knowing his life was grand and his heart was full because of you, Dorothy.
