Philip was a proud veteran of the United States Navy. Over his life, with Jennie at his side, Philip ran many successful businesses including a Hair salon, a deli, and real-estate. His greatest pastime was making wine that many enjoyed. Once retired a love of travel was ever present, even moving for some years to the US Virgin Islands and Florida, but always returning to Rochester, his forever home. On many Saturday mornings Philip could be found at his dining room table visiting with his adult children and their families, often reminiscing about days past. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Arrangements for a celebration of life will be announced at a later date. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, that a donation be made on behalf of Philip to St. Judes Childrens Hospital, a charity that was always very special to Phil and Jennie.  For more information and to sign his online guestbook, visit www.meesonfamily.com
