I'm working on getting a physical address for those of us that don't do credit cards

Man that is terrible, seems the city and county are at fault for not enforcing the laws against the owners...Hope for a speedy recovery.

Jeff open a Pay Pal account for him and or one of those text to donate if you can

 

[Hunkyfish]

Phil grew up in Destin on Driftwood off of Benning dr & went to Bruner Jr High & Ft Walton Beach High & frequently sat in with area musicians playing his harmonica, waited tables & bartended at AJ's, Fudpucker's, & Elmo's

 

[FrankT]

I know I have talked to him, just can't remember, he is just too familiar and with my history at AJ's, well you know. HE STILL IN THE HOSPITAL?

 

[Hunkyfish]

Yup
& he probably will be for a while,,,
it's probably been 10 or more years since AJ's days,,,, probably 20 LOL other than sittin in with the band sometime,,,,,

 

[Rapier]

My son probably went to school with Phil. Son graduated FWB in 87.
Ed

 

[Hunkyfish]

I think Phil graduated 83, a year behind me, he has a younger brother that would've been your son' age Rapier

 

[Rapier]

I thought it might be a shorter time but 4 years would be more than I thought.

Latest Update from Phil's sister
Kellie Diaz
Update: My brother is getting out of the hospital today. His lighter wounds are healing good. His deep wounds on his arms, one arm in particular, his hips and backside will take awhile with wound care in his home. We are working on getting him up to Biloxi VA for therapy after this. He had decided because of this traumatic event that he will no longer live in Defuniak Springs where this happened off of Girl Scout Road. He does not feel safe, so he will be moving back down to Destin. I hope the owners of all these dogs realize the devastation that they have done to my brother, his family, friends, neighbors, and the community as a whole. He was also forced to find homes for his own 2 dogs because he is physically not able, and still looking for a home for his cat named Febe, a petite calico.We were very fortunate to find fur baby homes for his dogs. They will be loved and safe, this is what was most important to him. His world has been turned upside down, but out of this, if he ever doubted that anybody cared, he realized today, that a lot of people care about him. He has had many angels watching over him and we really appreciate everybody that came to see him in the hospital, that have made caring donations, and to the ones that will still be helping him out along the way.

Glad to hear Phil is getting better, healing without infection, etc. Son said he did not recall Phil, but if he actually saw him he probably would know him from all the years he spent on and around the docks fishing and working on the boats.
Ed

 

[FrankT]

Man, that is good news...hope for his continues healing!

 

[Viking1204]

Glad to hear he's getting better, it's a shame he has to move because of it.

 

[Hunkyfish]

Thx Everyone
I spent about an hour on the phone with him Fri, he is in good spirits & is ready for rehab with lil' use of either hand & several operations to come.
The VA is refusing to give him in home care but with Phil unable to drive because of his hands & limited vision so this is a big obstacle to overcome as he has to have all of his wounds cleaned & repacked every Mon Wed & Fri

 

[FrankT]

Glad you are keeping up w him Jeff, I guess he is living in Destin now??
