He moved to his mother's family homestead on Route 20 with his mother and sister Yvonne, where he was brought up with the help of his uncle "Tek" Alexander Bergeron, where he learned that teasing and humor go hand in hand.

He always enjoyed keeping in contact with the people he worked with. He really enjoyed the long conversations with Hanson "Boots" Hedderig sometimes lasting several hours, always building and rebuilding the roads of Hudson, or always wondering if the public works guys ever found their gatebox or that manhole or drain.In 1976 Pam and Phil moved to NH where their daughter Michelle was starting her family so they could be closer to the grandchildren. Phil also owned and operated a furniture restoration place in Rochester, NH, where he stripped, repaired and finished furniture. While running the business with Pam, they won a contract to strip and refinish mahogany desks and chairs in new England for the US government.

He was a very practical woodworker, making several pieces of furniture always out of the heaviest stock he could find. Maple was his favorite.Phil was very active in the Rochester Kiwanis Club.
