We would like to offer our condolences to the family of John A. Phillips Jr. for their loss. I did not know John, but from what I read in his obituary, it is obvious that he was a wonderful man, and generous with his time to help others. This does not surprise me because, from my experience, he did a fine job of raising his children, and passing along many of his very good qualities to them. We pray that John's family's faith will bring them peace and comfort during this time of grief.
