THE WALL OF FACES

I met Phil when he was 14 years old. I went to high school with him in downtown Phoenix. He was the kindest, most well-intentioned, fun-loving kid you'd ever want to meet. Ask anybody who knew him. He was simply a sweet kid. There's no other way to say it. Just look at his face. That photo says it all. I do not know why, but I think about him more and more all the time. He wasn't the type of person that ever would have hurt anyone. Just the opposite. He wanted to help people. I think about his family, too. He had a sister two years ahead of me in school. His father worked for the local newspaper. I knew Phil died all those years ago, I just never knew until now that I could leave this remembrance. Thanks for your friendship and your service, Phil. It was always fun seeing you smile.
