I attended Phil Nielsen's funeral on Monday. It was a very good service. It made me wish I'd known him even better than I did. Phil's brother, Mark, read the obituary. Another brother, Tim, gave an excellent talk, as did a cousin. His sister read one of Phil's last journal entries (if not the very last) which was written just a few days before the tragic auto accident. In that entry Phil wrote that he was very excited to start school at Salt Lake Community College. He mentioned how his life was now getting back on track, that he'd been in a rut for a long time, but now his fire to accomplish things was rekindled. He mentioned never having been as excited about things as he was now.
Really do miss you, Phil. Work hasn't been the same.
