In 1961, Phil married the love of his life, Jill Crawford

for several years but returned to Grand Junction to raise
their beloved children, Mike and Lyndi and run the

Phil enjoyed golfing with friends and family,
weekends at the family cabin fishing and hunting with
his children and friends. He was a devoted family man
who always said his greatest achievement in life was his
family. He loved spending time with his 2 children and
10 grandchildren. He loyally attended his children and
his grand children’s events, skiing, swimming, recitals,
competitions and shows. He will be greatly missed.

daughter Lyndi Aguilera and her husband, Matt Donley
and family; his daughter-in-law, Cheryl Aguilera, and
family; his son, Steve Harris, and family; and his large
extended family and many friends.
