Bushy beard, hearty laugh, a huge heart for the Lord's work and for people. He was patient, kind, yet he had a willingness to be direct and challenge at times and I so appreciated that in my life on several occasions.
He was a 'get on with it' kind of guy who worked tirelessly to do the best he could in every area of his life. From hours working on accounts for NSBC and Night Shelter, to his more recent interest in DIY - he was a completer finisher. Phil found solutions, got things done, and was wholly reliable in so many ways.
He never expected much from me as his friend - was never demanding or very needy, but Phil was always there to support and encourage. To see Phil grow in faith, in his love for Jesus and in his service of the Lord has been a wonderful joy in my life and strengthened my own faith.
He trusted the Lord and helped so many of us to the same in our day to day lives as well as the big decisions. We are going to miss him so so much.
