Steven Carpenter-San Antonio, Texas
I was shocked to hear of Phillip's passing. He was too young. And I'm ashamed that I haven't kept in touch with the family since my Uncle Dale passed. My Mom would update me on Phillip and Susan. But, last time I got up to Delaware was 1978 or 79 with my mom Blanche. I hung out with Phillip and he took me down to the Yacht Club for a few beers and shooting pool. We had a great time. He was just like his dad. Everyone knew him when we walked in the room and I could tell he was special and very liked. We drove down there in an old 65-66 Mustang and I remember telling Phillip to stop at an "ice house" to get a beer on the way down. He said "what is an ice house?" In Texas we have ice houses, Phillip said in Delaware you have to go to a package stores for beer. But we had some good times hanging out there and down at Uncle Dales junkyard.He'll always be in my thoughts as well as Uncle Dale and Aunt Margaret. My condolences Susan and the entire family.
