  1. Nora, Megan & family,
    It’s still so hard for us to believe that Phil has gone to rest forever. We cherish all the good times, good laughs and all the advice he gave – and the ever positive attitude. He was a good boss and friend and it was my utmost pleasure to have met and worked for me. Heard a lot of good things about him before I came to work for him in Oct 2002; and it was an honour for me to get the opportunity to work for him. Learnt a good perspective about life from him also. I am rest assured that he is with the LORD. Nora, may the good LORD give you and your entire family the fortitude to bear the loss. Stay blessed.

    Friends forever,
    Timilehin, Tope & Kayode EDUN

  2. I’m very sorry to hear that Phil has passed on.
    I am a friend of Phil’s brother John from school and work.
    I worked with Phil at McDonald’s around 1976. I remember him as being very full of life, a man who loved to have fun and could always made everyone laugh. He was also good at planning and carrying out some good pranks!
    I know he will be missed dearly by his family and all who knew him.

    With sympathy,

  5. Dear Nora, Megan, and family,

    Our hearts go out to you, and our prayers keep going up for you. “Lord, give comfort and hope to these dear folks in their time of loss. Please be very real and close to them.”

    I have the privilege of leading the memorial service here in KL tomorrow at Halliburton’s office. Charlie Wright, Ivan Christie and I will be there to represent The Bridge Church. Along with his coworkers, we will remember and celebrate Phil’s life, and I’ll do my best to share with them the faith Phil had in our Savior.

    Now his faith has become sight, and he’s breathing freely the exhilirating air of heaven.

    You have our love and prayers,

  12. I was VERY saddened to see this obituary in todays paper. I used to work for Phil at McDonalds on Northern in the early 1970’s, and I played in the Central High Band with his brother John. I remember Phil had a great character, he was a fun person to be around. I admired his work ethic, and his positive outlook on things. I am sad to know that the world will be without his cheerful spirit. It was a priviledge to have known and worked for him. I pray that his family will be comforted in this time of sorrow.

  13. Nora, Megan, and Family,
    I am so sorry for your loss. Phil was a fine man, and he will be missed. I’ll always cherish our last Christmas dinner together. I’ll also remember how much our cats liked Phil!!! Please know that our prayers for you are ongoing.
    Love,
    Dale and Sharmon Coleman
