I was an assistant Foreman at the starch plant and PHil was a processor on my shift from time to time. I remember Phil very well from those days. He was good worker and a friend.
My brother Phillip had the sweetest spirit of anyone. He was such a loving brother, and always stood up for his little sister. The memories are too many, but all good -- playing in the snow, playing piano duets together, raising chaos and playing trampolene on the couch when the folks were gone, experimenting with kitchen "chemicals", going to movies, telling each other secrets (like when I found the wedding rings for Emily in the glove compartment of his car), and sharing the love of a brother and sister. Oh how I will miss him and his phone calls. We talked for hours, ending our phone calls with "I love you". The hole he leaves in our hearts will be filled by his spirit and our love for him. RIP "big brother".
I know he was a good man and a great father & husband. Only really knew him when I was young and he would coach his sons in baseball and also when I was a roommate with Mark in his early 20's in Tulsa. He will be truley missed by his family and friends. My familys prayers are with the entire Kelsay family in this time of loss.
I knew Phil through the family as I was a caregiver for his mother. I so enjoyed being a part of their family. They always made me feel so welcomed and loved. I wish to send my heartfelt condolances to the entire family. Phil was a kind and fun man. Please know that I am praying for the family. I pray that your memories will bring you some comfort. Phil is now rejoicing with our Lord. Hugs to you Emily.
I was so sorry to hear of your loss Emily. May God be with you during these times. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
So sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers are with you~
My deepest condolences to the Kelsay family on the loss of their loved one. Mr Kelsays daughter Lori was one of my best friends growing up. I remember I would walk clear across town to go to the Kelsays house. It has been years since I have walked anywhere that far. Some of my funnest times as a child were with Lori at her home. I always thought her parents were the coolest. I hope memories will bring comfort to you. "When someone you loved becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." Author Unknown
