I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost contact with Phil for the last 5 years or so. He and I had many wonderful adventures years ago when we worked together on my parent's farm. Many great times pheasant and deer hunting, fishing, and camping in his old green chevy pickup in Roscommen. Rest in peace my old friend.
