For many years, he lovingly maintained the large property with its huge gardens that were the envy and admiration of many. Phil loved nature and enjoyed his lengthy daily walks. He loved to watch and feed the birds. He was a very devout Roman Catholic and involved with his church and community. He attained the rank of Third Degree Knight of Columbus. Flowers are gratefully declined. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Humane Society.

Joanne - so sorry to hear of your father's passing. The few times I met him, I enjoyed being in his company - he had a good sense of humour. He lived a long life and you were lucky to have him for so long. Pam - Posted by: Pam Bjornson (nee Sturgeon) (Joanne - ex sister-in-law) on: Jan 27, 2015

I moved to Winnipeg to work with CN, bought a house with no landscaping. Phil drew a plan, dug up trees from his yard and made sure I took care of them. Turned out fantastic. Enjoyed working with him at CN. - Posted by: vance morley (friend from CN) on: Jan 21, 2015

My dad wore many hats throughout his life - a farmer, a soldier, a lumberman. He was a long-term CN man, a devoted follower of his faith, and always worked diligently at any of his endeavors. He was the best father - kind, loving and moral. The little man with the big voice and the bigger heart. He will always live in my heart and my memories. - Posted by: Louise Stuart (Daughter) on: Jan 20, 2015

Uncle Phil was a people person. He would visit our Mom at different times and was always concerned about my Mom's Children. He always had a smile for everyone around him. He will be missed. - Posted by: Bert &Helen Bonneteau (Uncle ) on: Jan 20, 2015

I remember when Uncle Philias & my dad Louie would build us an awesome slide every year. They would pile snow at the top of a long hill down to the Seine river. It would be banked on either side & at the bottom a pile of snow was made into a big curve, then it would all be iced. I only lived one house away from Linda, Louise & Yvette, we played almost every day on that slide, it was great fun. - Posted by: Michelle Fischer (Mager) (Niece) on: Jan 20, 2015
