Philip graduated from High Point Central High School in 1978. He then went on to work as a salesman for Preferred Furniture Components and was also a general residential contractor. In his free time, Philip loved spending time with family and friends. He also enjoyed going on family vacations to the beach and Disney World. Philip’s greatest achievement in life was his family. Ever since he was a little boy, Philip always wanted to help others but never wanted to place the burden on others to help him. Philip was a kind soul, who never met a stranger.
