Dear Janelle,
My deepest sympathy to you and family. The last time we were together with you & Bud was when my kids had a cottage on Conesus and you both stopped over. We had many good times, also many years earlier then that. Dave always thought highly of Bud. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Barb LeSchander
Dad thank you for being my Father. You surprised me with 2 amazing days those last two days eating a fish sandwich, to lecturing me about why I have a damn boat. I will miss you always. I still have all your voicemail and listen to them and smile
Love Gail
Sorry for your loss. Harold and the whole Phillips family are in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.
