Ranelle and kids, I grew up knowing Phil thru our neighbors Gigi and Don Hendrickson,
I had Phil in several of my classes in High School. Several times we would go out to the ranch and watch Phil practice getting bucked off or Roping. My true love was ranching and rodeoing and watching them since the fairgrounds was right behind us. Phil was always kind of shy in high school but not at the Ranch. We always had fun riding horses or catching boxelder bugs or Roaming around the Ranch. He was like a brother to me and a great friend. Debbie( Brown) Weingardt.
