Phil was the youngest son born to Sophie and John on February 11, 1936 in Sylvan, MB. Went to school in Sylvan and worked hard on the farm but as a young man realized that he would need more security and went to Winnipeg where he was hired by CP Rail Passenger train which later became Via Rail for 39 years retiring in 1995. His employment took him across Canada and North to Churchill, on his journey's making many good friends and meeting wonderful people from far and abroad. His love of the land always took him home to the farm where he loved to work, hunt and socialize with family, friends and neighbors. Good friends Bob and Bev Thompson will be the urn bearers.
