It is with sadness that I learned of Phil’s death last night. He was a great person to work with for 35 years, and an asset to the Mc-Hull team. He, in addition to be V-P of purchasing, handled many special events for McCarty-Hull. After his severe heart attack 20 years ago, he was not able to return to work and was sorely missed. As a devout Christian, he has been reborn into everlasting life-free of pain and back with Karen.
Love and prayers of comfort going out for you all. Phil and Karen were our buddies for years. We miss them and our fellowship! They were so proud of you and your kids!! Love ya! Mike and Mary King
Prayers to Crystal, Johnny and Kenny for the loss of your incredible Father. He loved you all with his whole heart and soul. Your Mother, Karen, was his best friend & soulmate. A truly happy marriage. Now, they’re joined together again in Heaven. Hugging and rejoicing!
Condolences family and friends. 🙏
Sincerely,
