A Marketing Executive, Phil spent much of his career marketing and selling consumer goods and services around the globe, finishing his career with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in 1989. An avid skier, sailor, musician and gardener, his passions were many. He made countless lifelong friends through school, work, church life, the RCYC and beyond and he truly cherished those friendships.
