Philip worked for Roadway Transportation at the loading department in Hagerstown, MD.  Upon retirement, he moved to Petersburg where he volunteered as a driver for Potomac Valley Transit Authority, the Potomac Highlands Guild, and at the Petersburg Lions Club.  Philip was a gifted musician and singer who was very generous with his time and had a tremendous love for his family.  He lived his life according to God's word by not only being a "hearer" of the word, but a "doer" as well (James 1:22).
