Linda and I send our condolences on your loss of Phil. He was a special person: open, honest and that rare anomaly, a person without guile. Six weeks after he took the bench I represented a defendant that Wes Griffin was prosecuting for Phil's old D.A. office. Early on I lodged an objection which Wes opposed. Expecting to lose, I vividly recall Jude Sieve, in front of a jury, pushing his chair back and saying out loud, "I don't know. come up here and let's talk this over." He then came forward on his chair and we discussed it then lowly out of everyone's hearing. It was honest, open and without ego. When I took the bench it informed me to concentrate on what is right and just without worrying about appearances. Thank you Phil for leading the way with your integrity. Be ready, many of us will need your unpretentious guidance again in a few years. Eternally in you debt --Jan

Rosemary, Lil, and Sieve Family, We were so sorry to learn of Phil's passing. I'll always remember him from when I was a teenager and seeing him occasionally at Gardner Lake, or Sanders' events, and thinking what a cool guy he was. He always took the time to say hello and give you a big smile. I wish only that I could have known him better. Rest in Peace, Phil, and may God Bless you and your loving family... Rose and Dan Breitenstein (Cousins of Rosemary and Lil Sanders)
