After school Phil served in the United States Army Reserves. On April 26, 2003, at St. Rose of Lima Church in Jay, he married Amy Ouellette.

Phil was a communicant of St. Rose of Lima Church and a member of the Knights of Columbus and the St. Rose Men’s Group. He enjoyed spending time with his grandkids, reading, and watching his favorite sports teams, The Dallas Cowboys and the Boston Bruins.
