Teri and family,
Janet and I are so very sorry to hear about Don’s passing. Don was a terrific guy and we will always treasure our friendship and his music will live on in our hearts. We cannot attend services, as we are visiting our son in Denver. Please know that all in the Phillip’s family are in our thoughts and prayers
To Don’s extended family, I am so sorry. Don will always have a very special place in my heart with all the music he gave so easily. He was really talented and I will always remember playing along side him.
Prayers to Teri and family. Don’s music was inspirational. Sorry not going to make it but you and family in our prayers
To the family of Donald Phillips,
I’ve been with Creighton since 1988 and had the pleasure of interacting with Don Phillips when I worked in the Rigge Science building in the late 1980’s. It was a long time ago, but I still remember Donnie and was very saddened to learn that he passed away. We had some very good conversations and I always considered him a friend. He played in a band on the weekends and always had a story to tell.
Teri, I am so sorry for your loss, most especially at this time of year. My deepest sympathies to you and everyone in your family. Donnie was a great guy.
