On many of these trips, he attended Classical Jazz Festivals: Sacramento. Mammoth Lake, Pismo Beach, and San Diego.  In his latter years, Philip took up bicycling. He particularly enjoyed bicycling from his home in Huntington Harbour, journeying along the bikeway from Sunset Beach to the pier of Huntington Beach. While on this journey he would say the Memorare for himself and members of his family.  

In recognition of the dedicated work of his nursing and anesthesiology colleagues, Philip each year would have a party at his home, usually held during the Huntington Beach Christmas Boat Parade which occurred in  early December. All in attendance really enjoyed this celebratory occasion.

He was a kind, thoughtful and giving person. His generosity was without bounds for all members of his family. He will be sorely missed by his many family and friends.
