In Memoriam
I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.
Alfred Lord Tennyson, In Memoria Alfred Lord Tennyson

Phil then went on to run his own furniture manufacturing company with a partner for about three years. He was then employed as a project manager for Singer Kearfott, working with defense contracts until the mid 1980's when he started his second career as a teacher for Encinitas Union School District. Phil was then able to retire early with his wife Sue and was very active traveling the world and spending time with friends and family.
