Phil is an old guy with the mission of keeping smiles, laughter and hugs flowing round and round. He is 85, widowed and loves helping himself and others get their daily requirement of caring human touch, hence his training as a Cuddle Party Facilitator. He was born in New Orleans and is living a fabulous life now in Baton Rouge. His hobbies include breathing (very big on breathing!), gumbo, naps, puns, making wire names, drumming, word origins and ballroom dancing. And people, he loves people. Phil has delusions of adequacy but hides it well. Phil does not play the tuba.
