Being a local man, Phil always made sure to take care of his community; he was proud to call Seguin home, and he showed his pride by employing so many in the community.

Although Phil was extraordinarily busy with all of his commitments in Seguin, he always had time for his family, and was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.
