Phillip was kind, generous, loving and the life of the party. He had the most beautiful smile and took pleasure in making other people happy and left a lasting impression with all who met him. He had many interests and excelled at all of them. He was an accomplished horseman, who competed in Ranch Sorting and had a successful horse breeding program. He also enjoyed collecting and restoring classic cars. He loved and followed all sports and especially liked watching his Dallas Cowboys and the Oregon Ducks play. He loved all children and they loved him. He had a quick wit and his greatest gift was to make people smile, laugh and lighten their day. He had an uncanny memory, second to none. Phillip was brilliant and extremely talented. He started his professional career working alongside his father and brother at ADC LTD NM, where he wore many hats including manager, contracts manager and facility security officer. He went on as an entrepreneur, and started his construction company, PMC, which provided many years of varied construction services at Kirtland Air Force Base. He later rejoined his father and siblings to support the growing family business, ADC LTD NM, where as an owner he once again wore many hats including manager of all physical security contracts, where he managed all aspects of this division and facilities manager.
