He also worked long hours on his family's dairy farm. His hard outdoor work carried on throughout his life. He took major pride in everything he did including the landscaping of his yard, which he had a strict schedule to follow and an even stricter way that it had to be done. Phil and Alice thoroughly enjoyed entertaining their friends and family. If you couldn't find them at the New Castle Moose Lodge (#1578) they were at their home bar, singing and dancing with Phil DJ'ng and tending bar. He also enjoyed spending time with his immediate family, including Sunday dinners, karaoke with his grandkids and numerous trips to the beach, and Lancaster PA. He loved country and gospel music and was perfectly content sitting in his chair watching YouTube videos of his favorites. The family would like to show special recognition to his wife of 45 years, Alice who spent the last few years taking round the clock special care of her husband whom she adored and loved very much.
