Very few times in my life have I been lucky enough to have a person like phid around. My father passed away when I was 4 and we relocated to Florida to be with family. As a kid I was elated when I learned of the rest of my family coming to Florida. Many weekends we invaded his home to cause a ruckus! how he managed to keep it together with us tearing things apart? I don't know. Through our teen years we were more than a hand full I still remember seeing him sitting on the back of his truck in the sun listening to some music and taking it easy. He brought such a simplicity to our lives that was near impossible in our family. He had a simple way about his life asking for little and giving far more than his share. Thank you for sharing him with us, Thank you for unselfishly sharing him with us and thank you for keeping him in simplicity and love in his passing.
May the Long Time Sun
Shine upon you
All love? surround you
And the pure light
within you
Guide your way on
Love, Dustin

Uncle Phid, While I did not get a chance to say good bye and we did not chat often, I always asked about you and how you were doing. I am thankful for all the memories I do have of you. I will never forget spending the weekends with you and Aunt Lu and the big breakfast that we had in the mornings. I will always keep you near and dear to me and I hope you are at peace. Your Florida family loves you very much and you will be missed more than you'll even know. Fly high with the angels. Love you. Jessica Ann.
