Phil Miller was a dear friend who suddenly passed away late last year. A testimonial site has been created in his memory that is comprised of both anecdotes and photos. This gallery houses those images of Phil’s work, his ethic, and his humor.

Phil's Look-alike in Spain
Spanish souvenir.
My nickname for him was "Butch." Maybe for others, too.
"It's a question of balance," he'd say.
Walking out the door to teach in El Monte.
