Philip grew up in Sodus Point, NY and enjoyed spending time by the Lake his entire life. As a young man, Philip enlisted in the United States Army where he served as a drill sergeant. Philip had a lifelong passion for aviation, both professionally and recreationally. For many years, Philip loved working on his son's race car and cheering on #66 to countless victories.
