He will be missed, and cheered, by all.

Phil was a Certified Public Accountant, and proud graduate of Villanova University, class of 1961. He served on the Boards of Alliance Bank, Crusader Savings Bank, A & L Handles, and Central Montgomery Mental Health & Mental Retardation Center. He started his career at Fry, Lutz Summers & Company, leaving as Partner, to dedicate his time to educating the new generation of CPAs at Gwynedd Mercy College, serving as Chairman of the Business School, and Ursinus College. He joined A & L Handles as a consultant at the request of a former student, and joined the Company as their Controller, eventually becoming Treasurer, Financial Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. He retired upon A & L Handles’ acquisition, to spend more time with his true love Kay, splitting time locally with their grandchildren, and their home in Avalon.

At his most recent home at Shannondell, he enjoyed playing bocce, water aerobics, and volunteering at their rehab center. He was known for his knack for story-telling, his kindness, easy smile, kind heart, and in his own words “He was not just another pretty face”.
