"I'm an east coast guy" I said...you told me that I've been given another opportunity and I shouldn't waste it. I kinda brushed it off because I really didn't know you and what you were about. I never thanked you for pushing me to finish what I started. As time passed and our football days

2 were over we kept in contact usually weekly we'd pass stories to each other and when you'd be in town we were sure to hang out whether it be at my house or out on the town. You always seemed bigger than life to me, your kind heart and your wisdom beyond your age. I am happy to be able to say you were my friend. I will miss our conversations which usually started with what's up "Black Rob" you are the only person that called me that...you are unique Phil and you will be deeply missed. To Jill and Jordan, I know he loved both of you very much and my heart and prayers go out to you. To his parents and his brother Wilfred Jr please accept my deepest condolences and prayers for I also loved Phil like a brother...black Rob ROBERT MANLEY WEEKS JR, SEPTEMBER 1, 2004 I played football at WVC with Phillip. He was a nice and fun friend. We are shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. With Love, Don and Anette Howell and family DON AND ANETTE HOWELL, AUGUST 20, 2004 Jill I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. Love ya. NANCY B HAMM, AUGUST 3, 2004 Phillip was a blessing to us all and now he is in a better place. Every time I spoke to him he was always so upbeat and full of life. He had a contagious smile and a magnanimous personality. We met in 1998 playing racquetball and our friendship grew from there. I remember one of the first times we played racquetball and he dove for the ball and I stopped playing because I couldn t believe my eyes. How could this HUGE body fly through the racquetball court like that? Immediately he was ready to dispute the fact that the shot he made was a good one. I laughed and said, I know. How did you do that? He was definitely a competitor with a seize the day attitude. Phillip was also very loyal and understanding. He was there for all of his friends when they were in need. He helped me through some tough times and for that, I will forever be grateful. He will be truly missed. I wish all of his family, friends and loved ones the best. I feel honored to have had the pleasure of calling you my FRIEND!

3 CARLOS BREEDEN, JULY 30, 2004 Hi Jill, I work with your Mom at Ebby. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure the love & support from your family & friends will help get you through this very difficult time. We are all praying for you and Jordan. JANET MILLER, JULY 29, 2004 My wife, Izella and I met Phil and Jill through one of his best friends Corey Young. He invited us to spend New Years with him and Jill. We hit it off great. My wife and I returned the invitation to them for our Cookout. Here he met coworkers of mine. Their reaction to Phil was the same as mine. He was bigger than Life and amienable all the same. In the short, time I've known him, I've felt a loss in his presence and will miss him as a friend. The Whetstones send their prayers to the Family. ALVIN ALEXIS WHETSTONE, JULY 29, 2004 I remember the first day I met Phillip Hippolyte at Utep. He was arrogant, boisterous and very cocky. The total opposite from who I was at that time. After the first encounter with him, I would have never thought our friendship would grow to be as strong as it is. He is my best friend. It amazes me how those qualities take on a different meaning after getting to know someone. His arrogance is confidence, his boisterous nature and cocky attitude generally brought on a mental and at times physical competitions, He would challenge you to be better than what you are. Once you accepted a few of his bolder qualities, you actually saw who he was. A caring, honest, intelligent and confident man, I would often tell people jokingly, his arrogant nature was just a hard outer exterior shell protecting his softer side. But it was true. Phillip has a huge heart, once you were in his heart; there is nothing he would not do for you. It just takes a little time to get past that tough outer coating of his. Phillip was never shy about his capabilities or what he could accomplish in life. He lived his life to the fullest, a little too fast for me a times, but very exciting. That is the only way to do it. Have fun in life and he did that. Phill pushed himself to be the best never settling on his dreams. If he had it in his mind to do something he would do it, I personally felt he could accomplish anything.

4 That is why I looked up to him he made me feel as though I could accomplish anything as well. He surrounded himself with a great group of friends. People he admired and who admired him, he learned from these people as we learned from him. For me there are so many qualities I admired within him. But the most favorable quality to me is his honesty. Phill spoke to me about living without regrets, living a happy life. Be honest with yourself and others, you may hurt some people along the way, you are not going to please everyone. He never faltered from who he was he gave us himself. He put it all out there for us to reject or accept him for who he was. I am very fortunate to have known who Phill really was, a wonderful husband, fantastic father caring son and brother a great man who loved his friends and family. He made me a better person. I will deeply miss him. ABDUL STEWART, JULY 29, 2004 Mary Lou, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers! PEGGY & LOUIS DAVION, JULY 28, 2004 I have known Phil since highschool, and he was always one of the best friends a guy, or anyone could have had. This world is at a loss without Phil in it. I will always miss his great sense of humor and way of making light of any situation. I will always have the scars on my body from the Great football days at WVJC to remember him by! To one of the most honest and loyal men I have ever had the pleasure of calling a friend, I will miss you! Funny how there are never enough words to decribe the best people in the world, and Phil, you were one of the best! Scott Glader SCOTT GLADER, JULY 28, 2004 I did not know Phillip, but I know his wife Jill. My prayers are with all of you. HAZEL ALLEN, JULY 28, 2004 Although I knew Phillip on a business level, I want his family to know that recently he told me how much his daughter and family meant to him.

WELDON D PITTS, JULY 28, 2004 Please accept my condolences. Philip brought a lot of energy to our workplace and will be missed dearly. John, Fidelity Investments JOHN BATEMAN, JULY 28, 2004 I worked with Philip at Fidelity and he was a very vivacious person. He seemed to be enjoy kidding various people about the scores of certain sports events. Of course, people would do the same to him. It seemed to keep the area lighter and a little more interactive amongst co-workers. He was a very nice person. DAN DAVIS, JULY 28, 2004 Philip, Thank you for always being a good friend. In addition to teaching me to ride a motorcycle you taught me that life need not be taken so seriously but instead enjoyed in the manner you want to enjoy it. Not to put off the things you want but rather go for what you want when you want it with no regret. You will be greatly missed and I feel my life is all the more fuller by simply having the pleasure of knowing you as my friend. PAUL D. MARQUEZ, JULY 28, 2004 Although I never met Phillip in my time with Atlas/World savings, I would like to offer my deepest condolences to his family. I believe that sometimes God needs his best to be with him earlier than we would like. For those he loved and cared about, God bless you all. DAVID NELSON, JULY 28, 2004 Hi Jill. I work with your mom at Ebby. I want you to know how much we all care

6 for you and your family and how sorry we are for your loss. Jill please know you are in all of our prayers. Give you mom a hug from all of us. With love, Tonya Riggs TONYA RIGGS, JULY 28, 2004 GLENN. PARRISH, JULY 28, 2004 Hip, It was spring 1996 during spring ball when you taught me a lesson. We were doing one on one drills and I was taking a beating from you, and then taking a beating from my coach when I got back to the sidelines. This is where I learned my signature move of the head slap. It was all due to you that this was learned. Thanks for the lesson. Pry MIKE PRY, JULY 27, 2004 Phillip was one of the most outstanding men that I was ever blessed to meet. I love him and his family very dearly. God Bless everyone that was lucky enough to be graced with his presence in this world. Go get 'em Phillip, show 'em who you are!!!!
