Phil, alongside his devoted wife, made the journey from New Jersey to Vero Beach in 2019, embracing a new chapter of life filled with sunshine and cherished moments.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Phil’s warm personality and genuine kindness touched the lives of all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Quick with a joke or a relatable story, he had a remarkable ability to connect with people from all walks of life. To Phil, there were no strangers—only friends he had yet to meet.
