After graduating from John Marshall High School in 1980, Phillip began his career as a body man, at the body shop he called home for forty-seven years, Kamm’s Corner Auto Body. His love for cars showed not only in his craftsmanship, but in his desire to buy and restore his own cars. He also enjoyed attending the Indy 500 with his group of loyal and longtime family of friends. Whether if it was the Browns, Indians, or Super Bowl 25, Phillip wanted to share these moments with family and friends.

For many years Phillip, with the love of his life, Chrisann, gave their time on Sunday mornings before attending mass at St Stephen’s Catholic Church, delivering food to those in need. We are comforted in knowing that Phillip and Chrisann are united in heaven with our parents, Ralph and Georgia, brother Dennis, and sister Valerie.
