What a great man from a great family. As each Archer has departed, I always hear the laughter and cackling of the voices in heaven as they who went first greet the newest one to join them.

August 19, 2013 at 5:07 amJackie and Family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your beloved Phil. I had the honor of working with him in the kitchen at the Emmaus Walk when my husband was Lay Director. I was amazed by his energy, his cooking expertise, and above all his compassion for people and the Lord. Our team was awesome–the best I’ve ever worked with. I will always have fond memories of working with Phil and getting to know him. DeColores, Carol Stallings

August 19, 2013 at 5:55 amJackie and family, we were so saddened to hear of Phil’s passing. I appreciated so much his work in the church office. He was always so friendly and helpful. I will always remember the class we took together in “Companions in Christ.” Our prayers and thoughts are with you!

August 19, 2013 at 7:28 amJackie, we will always remember Phil at The Walk to Emmaus weekends. You could always count on seeing Phil working on the Kitchen Team or doing whatever was asked of him. He always had a BIG SMILE and never heard him say one bad thing about anyone. When I first met Phil, it was like I had known him for years.
Phil not only proudly served his country, but more importantly he served his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ daily. He will be truly missed.
Terry & LaVerne
