Philip loved his cats, Lucy and Slater and spending time with his family and grandchildren more than anything else. He enjoyed the outdoors while boating, fishing and gardening. Philip was an avid fisherman and cyclist. He especially enjoyed sharing his passion for those activities with his sons and granddaughters whom will cherish the many memories of their adventures made together with their beloved father and grandfather. Philip also found immense joy in attending both his sons John and Joey’s football games at Mishawaka High School and would often be found somewhere in the stands cheering them on and gleaming with pride.
