Back when we were both single Phillip and I often double dated, we both had Corvettes so it was always in two cars! Phillip and I both enjoyed our love for cars and ran the streets of Texas City and the Houston night life many years ago. He was a kind sole and a great friend, always a gentleman to the lady’s. Although we later lost touch with each other I thought of him often over the years. He was indeed a great man and I know that he will be missed by many. Rest In Peace my old friend.
I worked with “West B†at Marathon and Southwest Chemicals. We worked same shift a Marathon for many years. Fest in peace West B you will be missed
