Phil loved the outdoors, camping, boating, hunting, and fishing. During his retirement adventures with Linda by his side, they traveled around most of the United States and Canada by RV and boat. Phil developed a passion for woodworking; making many gifts for the family. He loved attending his grandchildren’s sporting events and realized a lifelong dream of living on a lake.
