Philip was a commercial fisherman for 44 years, he was a hard worker all of his life and his children looked up to his work ethic. He enjoyed spending time with friends, family, but especially his grandchildren and loved listening to classic rock. He had a joy for life that was infectious to those around him. Philip never met a stranger in his life, he always just considered them a new friend. He will be missed dearly by all that knew him and loved him, but will be received in heaven by those who went before him. “Go rest high on that mountain, your work here on earth is done.”

Samart Funeral Home of Houma, West Park is in charge of arrangements.
