Walnut Grove Property Manager wrote a sympathy message

“Mr. Phillips wasn’t just my closest friend’s father—he was a father figure to me, too. He welcomed me into father-son moments that gave me guidance, belonging, and a steady influence I’ll always be grateful for his towering presence and quiet demeanor were intimidating in the best way—they kept me in line more than once, and I respected him deeply for it. With heartfelt condolences, Frank M.”
