Thoughts of comfort are sent your way. I have know Phillip since we were in jr high. He was always friendly, full of jokes, liked to tease and when he grew up – a great man who helped many of us on this reservation. He and the Enterprise crew took care of so many of us and we were blessed with their good humor and inventive ways of making sure our house troubles, be it plumbing or doors, were fixed. He will be missed.
