If you knew Phil, you knew he wasn’t the kind of man who sat still for very long. He loved motorcycles, classic cars, shooting pool and a cold Pepsi. No matter the time of day, you could usually find him out in his shop, sanding down a truck body, painting car parts, or working on his next project. His hands were rarely clean because they were always busy building, fixing, or helping someone else.
Phil lived for speed on two wheels. He was fearless. The roar of a motorcycle engine wasn’t just a sound to him, it was freedom. It was where he felt most alive.
But as much as Phil loved motorcycles and classic cars, what truly defined him was his heart.
Phil was one of the most selfless people you could ever hope to meet. If you needed help, he was there. It didn’t matter what he had going on or what time it was. He would drop everything in a heartbeat to lend a hand. He never judged people. He accepted them as they were, and he treated everyone with kindness, respect, and generosity. The saying that someone would give you the shirt off their back is often used loosely, but with Phil, it was the absolute truth.
While Phil wasn’t our family by blood, he became family by choice. Over the last ten years, he became a role model and support system to Tony and me, and another Papa to our girls. His presence in our lives was a gift that can never be replaced. One of the greatest gifts Phil gave me personally was teaching me how to ride a motorcycle. That wasn’t just a lesson. It was time spent together, memories made, and confidence he helped build in me. It is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
There are so many things I wish I had the chance to say. So many ways I wish I could thank him for everything he did for our family over the years. For every piece of advice, every helping hand, every laugh, every lesson, and every moment he showed up when we needed him most.
The truth is, Phil’s legacy won’t be found only in the motorcycles he rode or the vehicles he restored. It will live on in the countless lives he touched through his generosity, loyalty, and unwavering willingness to help others.
Today our hearts are heavy, but we can take comfort in knowing that the kind of man Phil was doesn’t simply disappear. His influence lives on in his family, in his friends, in everyone he helped, and in every memory we hold close.
So as we say goodbye, I like to imagine Phil exactly where he belongs: racing through the clouds of Heaven, wind at his back, free as ever, watching over his wife of 34 years Terry Green, his teen son Austin, his adult children, grandchildren, family, and friends.
Thank you, Phil, for everything. Thank you for your friendship, your guidance, your generosity, and your love. You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be gone from our hearts.
Ride free, Phil. We’ll see you again down the road.
