My deepest condolences to Carolyn, family, and friends. I LOVED Phil’s sense of humor and am going to miss him, his emails, and phone calls.
I know he has been ill and my last conversations with him revealed the depth of it. He knew he would soon be departing, but always kepted his sense of humor and fighting spirit.
He will be missed … but he is now breathing freely.
Warmest Regards,
Stephen Steve Paulson

Dear Carolyn and family,
I hope that the Lord’s spirit will be will you at this time of loss. That spirt can bring you comfort when nothing else can. I wish to share with all of you a few thoughts about Phil as I worked with him at the LDS church headquarters until his retirement. Phil had the responsibility of maintaining a large amount of water features and building HVAC equipment. He always performed his duties very well. These water features are in the public eye and add a great deal to the beauty of the church grounds around temple square. Phil was insistent about having everything just right. He loved having everything working and looking the way it should. It was a difficult assignment, but he did always did a wonderful job.
I can attest to his strong testimony of the gospel. It would come out in most of my conversations with him. He loved his family. He spoke of his love and concerns for them often. Phil has graduated from this life and is not far away. He is in good hands and I must say that I’m looking forward to the time when I can speak with him again.
