Dear Nephew, Uncle, Cousin, and friend.
Phil had a larger than life personality, was a people person and was loved by many.
In his youth he played corkball, softball, and minor league baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals organization.
He was inducted into the US Army on January 22, 1962 and was stationed in Germany. He played baseball there as well and was honorably discharged December 28, 1963.
In later years he was an enthusiast of fishing and floating on the Missouri Streams and Lakes.
He was a proud Teamster, driving a beer truck for Lohr distributing – a job that he enjoyed immensely.
Many thanks for dedicated and gentle care over the years of Dr. Alan Braverman and two assistants (Barb and Dana).
A Memorial service will be held at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery on Friday September 29th at 10am. Please arrive at 9:30am.
