Phil was born in Osgood, Missouri, attended high school in Davenport, Iowa, and graduated with a chemical engineering degree from Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland, Ohio.

Soon after, the happily married couple moved to Cincinnati where Phil began a long and successful career with Procter & Gamble. His work took him around the world including a final nine years living in Asia, after which he and June retired to a good life on Dataw Island in the beautiful Lowcountry of South Carolina. He was known for his warm personality, positive attitude, quick wit, wise counsel and compassionate heart that he lived out with his family and friends, in his work as a church Elder, and through his volunteer service to agencies in and around Beaufort.
