To all the family, I would like to express my condolences. Our community has lost one of the best! I’m sure he and Dr. Welborn are having a big time together. I just wanted to tell the family that Doc impacted my life and I will be forever grateful for the opportunities he gave me which lead me to my career in dentistry. He sparked my interest in becoming a dentist from a very early age. I was in the first grade and Jane Ann and I were in the same class. Doc came in one day to give an oral health talk. After that, I decided I wanted to be a dentist and wrote it down every year in my school year memory book. When I was in high school, Dr. Whiteside and Cookie were so gracious to give me a job at the office as Bonnie’s assistant. During that time, I observed everything and became sure that was the kind of environment in which I wanted to work. Doc wrote my letter of recommendation to gain entrance to dental school and allowed me to do my externship at his office. I learned a lot from him by observation and as busy as he was, he took time to impart his wisdom on me. It was over 25 years ago and I still remember his words, “ Treat people right and take your time” So, I owe a lot to him – a great man and dentist who inspired me and gave me my start. I’m sorry for your loss. I’ll be praying for all of you.

Cookie, I was stunned beyond belief when I heard of Phil’s passing. At our last reunion where only a few of us made it, I thought and envied Phil’s overall health and physic. I morn for a great guy.
Great husband, father and grandfather. Highly skilled dentist, consummate classmate, superb athlete, generous friend, and the very definition of a “ cool “ guy. Never too serious, witty sense of humor, and totally without ego. One of those guys whose company was jealousy guarded by everyone who knew him.
