I had the privilege of being
Phil's friend and I can tell you that he never met a stranger. Phil was a
giving man always helping anyone that needed him. He had the loves of his
life with his wife Debbie & daughter Lessa and friends far and wide. I
have never met anyone with the love for life that he had and he shared
that love with all that knew him. I will miss him but know he will
continue to smile on all his loved ones. If there are Harley rides in
heaven I know he is at the front of the pack.
April 15, 2009 We loved you as our son. Our
hearts are with Debbie & Lessa as you are taking your peaceful journey into
eternity. Love forever, Mom & Dad Conners April

My thoughts and prayers go out
to you, Lessa and Debra. He will definitely be missed. But take comfort in
the fact that he is no longer in pain and is in peace now. Love you both!!

Debbie, thanks for your call,
it meant a lot to me. I will never forget Phil or all of the things we did
together. All of the late nights in my race shop and all the Saturday
nights at Langley Speedway. Truth be known, it was Phil and his motivation
that carried us to the championship back in 1981. I could go on and on
about the good times, but I'll stop there. Debbie, I'm deeply sorry for
your loss and the loss of one of the best friends I'll ever have. God
speed, Phil.
Thanks again, Debbie, and stay in touch. April
15, 2009
Our thoughts and prayers are
with y'all, Lessa and Debra. He was definitely a good man, all the good
work he did for the softball team. We will all miss him. Rest in peace,
Phil.

Debbie and Lessa....We feel
truly blessed to have had Phil in our lives. You are in our thoughts and
prayers during this time. Love to you both!
April 16, 2009 Our
Thoughts and Prayers are with both of you, Lessa and Debbie. Phil was one of
the GOOD guys. Those don't come along that often. Take comfort in the fact
that he loved you both, and will be in your hearts forever, and not
forgotten. April 17, 2009 Phil
was a friend and school mate; we rode the same bus and we went to football
games and all the school stuff. He and my brother, Sonny Pless, worked
together, and were good friends. Phil will be greatly missed. We will keep
you in our thoughts and prayers. April 17, 2009 Phil and I were close friends meeting each other around the age of 14 at the Boys Club. We did everything together for lots of years even though I went to Hampton High and he to Newport News High. We spent most weekends together, school functions, double dating and partying. We were even in the Army together up until he had that terrible car accident, causing his diabetes, and he was medically discharged. After we both had married we vacationed together in Hawaii. When he owned the MadHatter Night club, I was his manager in charge. After divorces and life we kinda lost track of each other. I have not heard from him in the last 25 + years, I didn’t know how to get in touch with him. Reading of his passing was sad, but I have great memories. I would have liked to met you and shared part of his new life. Prayers to you and your family,,, Carl ~ Carl Sparrow,

Lead Me Gently Home
Words and Music
by Will L. Thompson, 1879
(7 Nov 1847 - 20 Sept 1909)
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home;
When life’s toils are ended,
And parting days have come,
Sin no more shall tempt me,
Ne’er from Thee I’ll roam,
If Thou’ll only lead me, Father,
Lead me gently home.
* Refrain:
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home.
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home;
In life’s darkest hours, Father,
When life’s troubles come,
Keep my feet from wand’ring,
Lest from Thee I roam,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home.
