    Peggy and family, sending our sympathy To you at Phil’s passing. I have so many fond memories of him as I grew up and early in my married life. He always had such a presence and wickedly funny sense of humor. You were often like my second set of parents and wonderful friends to Mom and Dad. May Phil Rest with the angels. May all the memories from family and friends bring peace and comfort to you these days. Love….Gary and Lisa Schuetze
