Phil was a dedicated, respected and professional Certified Public Accountant, committed to his clients, his church and public service. He never wished to retire entirely and achieved that goal! Noteworthy accomplishments for a lifetime of excellent work included: Phil received his CPA Certificate, #698, on March 5, 1959, from the Kansas State Board of Accountancy Phil was admitted to the Kansas Society of Certified Public Accountants April 1, 1959. He was awarded Lifetime Member status in 1999. Phil was also a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants from May 1959 to present. Phil began his accounting career at Bonicamp, Koelling & Smith which later became Peat Marwick & Mitchell where he was promoted to Junior Partner. He later joined as partner the new firm Boothe & Mallory which later became Haney, Riffel & Company, Certified Public Accountants. It was during this time we worked with Phil. Over many years, we had excellent discussions on attending the music and arts events in Wichita, including Music Theatre, Symphony and the Art Museum. Phil was a strong supporter and found them life-enriching. We share his passion and will think of him fondly when attending the Symphony, MTW, Christmas at the Art Museum, and seeing the flowers at Botanica. He will be sorely missed. Your final tax season is done. We wish you would have filed for an extension but know you will enjoy the beautiful music and flowers in heaven.

Phil was like family to us. We always enjoyed his presence at gatherings, parties, and wedding celebrations. His wit and wisdom are unmatched. Phil showed us the true meaning of friendship. We are grateful for all life lessons we will carry from him. He’s already missed so much. Steve & Linda Hiebert and Family
To me, Phil was the personification of what I understood a true Christian should be. My first introduction to Phil was as a Jr. High student in Sunday School Class at College Hill Methodist Church, along with his friend, the late Kenneth Eppleys. Together they enhanced my faith by providing me with their guidance of what it means to be a child of God and the responsibilities that I am faced with as a Christian. Through the years, Phil continued to teach me as he lived his life and cared for his loving wife, Glorene through her long-term health issues. He was devoted to her and was a true example of what we are to do as husband and wife, ‘for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.’ This isnt to say that I have ever been perfect in my Christian walk, but the teaching of their Sunday school class and by example, he taught me to strive towards perfection in my walk of faith and in Christianity. He was a big supporter of our adult Communicators Sunday school class through the many years and many changes of our congregation. Now I am 60-years old and until his death we maintained a friendship that I will personally cherish for the rest of my life. We friends left behind and our CHUM family will miss him greatly.
Phil, I will miss seeing you at Lions Club. I am glad our paths crossed and that I got to know you. Blessings and fond memories to your family.
