  7. My condolences for your loss. I worked with Phil in the data center at AB for several years. What I remember most was his tremendous sense of humor. He made it fun to come to work. He will be missed.

  17. So sad to hear of the loss of your Husband/ Father. I remember many times seeing him riding his bicycle
    ( along with the family) around the neighborhood when I was young. Then the days Mr. Kosta and my Dad sat out in your backyard on Healy court, listening to the St. Louis Cardinals game with Jack Bucks broadcast. My condolences to the family and my prayers for you all in your time of loss. May you all find peace in your hearts.

  19. Mary Lou, It was good talking with you today, I mentioned working with Phil 32 years and in “ALL” those years, I can honestly say I can not remember a time I was not smiling as I walked away from our talks. Thinking back, it had to be a “gift” from God gave to Phil making people smile!! He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
    Please except our deepest regrets to you and your entire family
