I have so many fond memories of hanging out with “Pop-Pop” throughout the years. I always remember going down to Helena to visit and he would be playing his favorite JRPG’s or watching classic movies. I remember him playing all the greats such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Wild Arms, etc. Hes one of the main influences that got me into gaming. Every time I hear the Wild Arms 2 soundtrack I think of him playing it back in the day. He was such a down to earth guy. The last time I got to see him was last December. I got to play The Legend of Zelda and he was guiding me through it. It was really cool having a gaming legend guide me through a classic game. I’ll never forget all the good times I had with Pop-Pop, he was an awesome grandpa.

Phil, It was a rough last few years for you. I am glad you no longer have to suffer anymore. I’m glad that I was able to see you before your passing as well. It was hard for me. I’m going to miss you. Farewell and Rest in Peace, Pop-Pop…
Tamara says
Phil I miss you so much it hurts so bad but I’m glad you are not suffering anymore. You were so brave and even in your situation you were able to joke here and there and didn’t complain. I wish I could go back in time and give you a hug. I was blessed to have a nice memory of the last visit I had with you and got to tell you I love you. There are so many memories I have that i will treasure. I will miss your jokes and being so funny and a positive out look on life. Thanks for taking care of me as I grew up and doing the best to provide for us. I will miss you everyday. Love, Tam
Christy says
I remember when you and mom first met when I was 10, the way you looked at each other I will never forget. I thought oh boy here we go, ha! I am so thankful for you, especially since I got to do things with you in your younger years. Lots of memories, but a few things stand out, like when you and Uncle Mo would work on cars, I enjoyed watching , also your cooking and tips throughout the years, and how you always encouraged me to think outside the box as its called now a days, and watching old time horror movies together. I loved the rides we went on, which has rolled over into adulthood for me, and my kids, lake trips, driving up the side of MT. Helena in your truck part way I should say, lots of adventures. Thanks so much for doing your best to care for us, we will forever miss you, and we love you. We will miss your quick wit, and always positive outlook! R.I.P Phil, you are free to go wherever you want now!! Love, Christy
