there was never a dull moment with phil in he mix. i will miss my  dear friend so much.

Thinking of you and your family , Phil. Rest in peace, my friend. Fond memories of sophomore year at WC, bolting out of math class to make it to Roy Rogers for that $1.39 cheeseburger special! After the two way drive , we had like 5minutes to eat but, man—great times and a thousand laughs.  Thanks for the memories. Here’s to you .

I enjoyed our friendship very much.  In the paddock on the track in the grandstand in the golf pro shop on the golf course and the 19 th hole. R.i.P.  Phil    will see you again in the biggest and best Winners Circle of all.

So sorry for the loss of your family today. You and Phil were the faces we always saw when entering the DairyQueen,  The fun times you had at the race tracks, when we ran into the two of you. He is going to be greatly missed. My god look after you and you family during this times.

We have such wonderful memories of time spent with Phil and his beautiful family. He was a fun-loving guy, even when he was in the 4th Grade.  Our loving thoughts are with all of you. May your sweet memories help sustain you during this challenging time and in the days ahead.

I'll never forget my sister and me, challenging Phil to a basketball game at the courts!  We totally thought we could take him. (He was the "old" DQ manager after all, and we were at the top of our game in high school!)  The big event was planned for a summer night, after DQ closing time, at one of Miamisburg's public courts.  Many DQ employees were in attendance, eagerly anticipating the showdown--which had been preceded by MUCH trash talking on both sides.  Phil even made it more fun by surprising everyone with delivered pizza at the courts before the game.  Once we got down to business and the game actually started, I remembered thinking, "What have we gotten ourselves into?!"  He sunk a 3 pointer right away and was running circles around us.  We held our own and made it a competition, but Phil was the ultimate victor that night and it was so much fun!   I also remember how proud Phil was that many of the DQ employees would come to have their picture taken with him on Homecoming or Prom nights, probably because he would fuss over how lovely we looked.  He knew how to run a tight ship at the DQ (you didn't look bored when Phil was around and got to wiping something off with a rag, fast!) but he was also a lot of fun and just knew how to put you at ease and make you feel special.  I loved the morning shift with Phil because he'd usually offer to buy breakfast from the Koffee Kup.  :)   He will be so missed.  Many prayers for those he loved, and left too soon.

 I knew Phil from Browns Run Country Club I worked there for twenty yr. when Phil and his crew would come in you knew it was not going to be a boring day. h
He always had a smile on his face and liked joking around all the time. He will be dearly missed. Prayers for his Family.

Bub, very sorry to hear about Phil, you have our upmost condolence.

                         Don & Linda & family

Leanne. So very sorry for your loss  Phíl and I raced several times at old Lebanon and I remember one time we had a couple pretty good mares in with each other and he was following me and my mare tried to pull up  he ran up over my wheel and made a break and my mare took back off. I was apologizing as we pulled up and he wasn’t upset with me. Said that’s just racing and I always thought that that kind of sportsmanship was special as was he  

Phil and I were inseparable for so many years.  The memories are to abundant to capture here.  I just thank God for the times we had as kids being true boys growing up to be men.  From the Borrowing of his Uncles car to the front yard football with Chris and lil Dreama.  

Obviously, Phil and I played Football and Swam together.  Everything was a sport to us back then. Phil was an amazing Diver.  There really wasn’t anything he couldn’t do.  Spending Saturday Mornings in the Barns at the race tracks to the Golf with my Dad.   One year we had to pour my Father into the house because Phil and I gave him a few to many Manhattans at the AIM For The Handicapped Golf outing.  My Mom, rest her soul, was so mad at us all.  

This world had an amazing person loaned to us for a brief while. May he find his Mothers Arms again in the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior.  Rest in pease my old friend.  Your memory will always be with me.   

Prayers to his family was a  great guy always the loved the horses. RI.P. Phil.

So sorry to hear of Phil's passing.. We were good friends through jr & Sr high school.. Prayer to His wife and family!

Sad to see an old friend go had many great times playing sports together and our wonderful summers together at Singing Springs God speed old buddy

I graduated Class of '81 with Phil. I remember him as a great athlete, popular, kind and friendly to all. I haven't seen him since high school, but it looks like he hadn't changed. Thoughts and prayers for his friends and family.

Phil was so much fun! Football, mopeds, vacations, girls, ping-pong, billiards, Singing Springs swimming pool, dirt-bikes, BB guns, CB radio, “Sport” the boxer (and boxing)- those were great times! 
Thankful for the time spent growing up with my friend Phill Carroll.


Always enjoyed  Phil and betting on him to win horse races in high school....
And having a cold beer at the moose with Phil...

Rest In Peace my brother....

I worked for Phil back when i was younger at the Dairy Queen. He was always so happy, smiling and always put people in a great mood. He and Leanne knew how to make people smile and have fun while working. He will be missed by many and i will never forget the nice guy he was. Rest in peace my friend.

LeeAnn, 
We are so sorry to hear of Phil's passing.  Our thoughts & prayers are with you & Tiffany.
With love, Sharon & Barbara

Dear Carroll Family,

Phil enjoyed a lot of life in 58 years.  I’m so thankful for the countless, unforgettable memories of the good times he and I shared in the last 40.  My heart is broken, and I’m going to miss my friend more than words can describe. 

Thinking of all of you,

Greg Dunn 


After Al Carroll sold our family the farmhouse in Farmington Rd.,they proceeded to build their beautiful home with only a horse corral between us. While they were building, it was getting close to school starting. They had Phil, Chris & little Dreams & a fine young man, Steve Turkey who had moved in with them.   Phil & Steve & our boys Lennie & Kelly were all on the Carlisle Varsity football team. We also had 3 girls Missie, Darcey & Ramie. That’s 13 people & 1 bathroom.  We were already best friends but in those few months, we became family.  People even called us “the Waltons”. We had such great fun cooking, eating, doing lots of laundry, enjoying all the animals, the kids & each other.   Of course every night when the lights would go out, you would hear the chorus starting. Good night JimBob, good night Phil Boy & on & on it would go. Good night. Phil Boy. We will always love you. 

so sorry to hear this and my heart and prays go out to family and I know you will miss him ,as he was the kindness guy and know he loved you all RIP The Myers JD and Mary






We are so sorry to hear of Phil’s passing.  Keeping all in our thoughts and prayers 

It breaks my heart to hear this. Kevin and Phil were attached at the hip for many years ironic that they both passed on Sept 4th. My condolences to all of his family.

I'm very sad to hear this. Phil was probably my best friend when we were in 5th and 6th grade. We did so much together. My heart and prayers go out to his family. 

I am so sad to see this.  Phil played football with my brothers and was a fierce competitor.  Will be praying for the family

I played football at Bellbrook and graduated the same year as Phil and my good friend Greg Dunn.  Phil was a phenomenal tailback and a great competitor.  I am sure he will be missed by many in the Carlisle Community.  

Phil was in my brother’s grade and lived up the street from us, so we spent a lot of time together as kids.  Phil always had the whitest hair during the summer and was ready to play any sport at any time.  He was a valued teammate on the WC football team my Senior year.  

I used to play backyard football with Phil in the old neighborhood we grew up in. It was me, Jeff Huemmer and Tom Rigg and of course Phil. We had fun às kids. God speed old friend. 🙏
