Phil was an underwriter who retired after a long career at USAA. He was the longstanding President of the Hermann Sons Lodge at Twin Sisters who valued his German heritage and loved hunting, fishing and showing visitors around the ranch on his Mule. Phil was a handsome man with a sunny disposition in spite of his health issues, a melodious voice, and always had an uplifting anecdote to bring laughter and smiles to anyone, anytime, anywhere. He will always be remembered as a talented man known for his playful and thoughtful poems on any occasion.
A lover of hats, Phil owned over a hundred, ranging from Stetsons to canvas ballcaps to wide brimmed straw hats. No one could TOP him on his wild assorted hat collection.
