I didn’t know Phil well. I know Lynn. Phil had many health issues. Lynn was always there supporting him with loving care. May God give you the strength and courage you will need, Lynn as you grieve. My prayers are with you.
‘Zeke’ was my classmate for eight years at Cicero Elementary and four more at Jackson Central High School. He probably became a Yankees fan when Mr. Dunham, our fifth grade teacher, brought a radio to school so we could listen to the World Series. That was one of the years that the Yankees beat the Dodgers. Phil is also my Brother, Hinkle Lodge #310. Rest in peace, Brother Phil.
