Philip, your kindness, calmness, and quiet generosity touched everyone around you. You shared what you knew so freely, never seeking attention, always lifting others up. You were such a beloved part of Team Teal, and it makes me so happy that we had you as a teammate. Our Team Teal Coffees will never be the same without you. I hope you are somewhere enjoying your beverage of choice, Philip, and that you know how deeply you are missed. Your Team Teal Family
