Phil's missionary service in Ireland changed my life forever. He was true and faithful and served in a manner that anyone who knew him would not have been surprised about. I have no reason to believe that his new calling will be served any less faithfully. Love to Kris, Christian and Jeremiah and all the Bandley family who made me a part of theirs for all these years.

They say that a smile is contagious, this was certainly true for Phil. Whenever he would come into our store he would bring a smile and infectous good attitude with him. He always had a kind word and a sincere "How are you?" for everyone. Phil was a true and genuinly kind person and he will be missed greatly. Our hearts and prayers our with his family.

Your Dad was a warm wonderful human being. I always loved to hear he (and you) were going to be on one of our trips. I am very thankful to have know him. I am still trying to learn to handle a 4x4 with his skill, although I will be better served emulating his patience, kindness and character.
My sympathy and warmest regards.
