Phil was born on March 2nd, 1953 in Dayton, Ohio to Mitchell M. and Marilyn C. Smiland, who preceded him in death.
He lived many places throughout his early life, including Ethiopia, Wyoming, Colorado, and Virginia, but ultimately made his lifelong home in Texas. Phil was a skilled numismatist and an excellent salesman, and enjoyed playing pool, dominoes, and video games in his spare time. Above all else, he was a devoted father, grandfather, and brother who loved spending time with his family. He is already fiercely missed.
