Phillip started pursuing his passion later in life than most. He began his career as a barber in his own barber shop "Phil's Barbershop." After 20 years he retired, and was stricken with cancer the following year. He succumbed two years later, drawing his last breath surrounded by his wife, children, and grandchildren who filled his last moments with love, prayers and permission to go and meet Jesus.
