He started his career working for Hitachi Magnetics Corp. in Edmore in 1972, until his retirement in 2006 when the factory closed. He then continued to work for 7 years at Weller Auto and Truck Parts in Grandville, MI until March 2012. Phil loved bass fishing, deer hunting, and time spent with his family. His pride and joy was his 1967 Camaro RS/SS that he proudly restored himself. He was also a skilled mechanic, and a man of many trades that could fix anything. He will always be remembered for being a hard worker, having a great sense of humor, kindness and unconditional love he had for his family. Phil was a member of the Seville Community Church of God, where he also served on the church council and as an elder of the church.
