    I remember well Phil’s apartment in Dolton. Erik and I, children of Phil’s cousin Gail Taft Wilson, would hang out with him and Sherry, listening to music and exploring antiques. I remember garbage picking for treasures, too. And wow, we found many, that Phil would refurbish and bring back to life. It’s been a very long time since I’ve shared time with him. I always imagined that as I myself aged, I would have a greater appreciation for Phil’s stories and knowledge. I know that peace and comfort surround him now. God speed cousin.
