This is Jody. I have known Phil since we went to school at Mitchell High School. I hadn´t seen or spoken to him in years. I started working at US Bank and he came into my branch. We caught up and he told me he had cancer. I couldn´t believe it. He is the one who made me go get my colonoscopy because he told me it could save my life. I left US Bank in Sept 2022 and I wondered how he was doing. I´m using my son´s Facebook and wanted to look him up to only find that he passed away in December. I am sorry for your loss and my condolences to the Flater Family. He is in a better place and will be truly missed.

I knew Phil at El Paso/Kinder Morgan when he worked for Xerox. We quickly became friends and had many conversations related to work, family and friends. We lost track of each other when he left the Company but have always thought of him frequently. He willed be missed, we pray for the repose of his soul.
