Everyone calls him Papa Phil...well, I have called him Dad for well over 20 years. But that's ok, because he calls me Dad as well...:-)

It's hard for me to put into words what I feel for this man. We have supported each other in the very BEST of times, but more special is the support we have given each other in not so good times...

He truly loves all of us and works sooo hard to make things right...

I LOVE YOU, PHIL......

Look! Over there...mountains are rising, lightning bolts strike and the trees snap to attention...then a sweet sound fills the air...it's Papa Phil and we are all truly better off!!...and I mean a lot!

Phil is a wonderful, wise human being. He posesses many characteristics I aspire to embody. He's generous, kind, smart, funny, and manages to be a romantic, yet still something of a perv. Balance!

My testie for PBK:

I love this guy. I think we all do, but, he loves my mother and that is points in my book right off. He can play a mean guitar and looks like Jerry when he plays. I love his anal-ness. No, not his anus...his anal-ness. Shit gets dun the right way. He hiccups when he eats spicy sause.
