-- Phil was a well traveled veteran shooter and true Fast Draw zealot. During his gun fighting career he actively promoted the sport to the public and served in leadership roles for the Ohio Fast Draw Association and the Old Frontiers Thumbers Conference. Phil was quick to offer novice shooters friendly advice, words of encouragement and support. His exuberance and passion for Fast Draw showed on his face and earned him many friends. Sporting his trademark sterling silver with turquoise embellishments and his pair of .45 Colt SA's holstered in his similarly adorned gunfighter double rig it was plain to see he was in his element. Phil along with Ron Paul Duning and William Sajovic was a founding member of the Buckeye Rangers Fast Draw Club and Show Team. The annual North coast Nationals Gunslinger Contest Thumbing event was named "FireBall Phil Classic" in his honor.
