GREEN: PHILLIP GENE (1950-2017)

Phil was the son of the late Austin and Elizabeth (Guptill) Green.

Phil was a man of few words that enjoyed the simple things in life. When he wasn’t dulsing, hunting, or fishing, Phil loved spending time at Dark Harbour with friends, watching the sunset. He also loved bluegrass music, buggying, reading, and spending time at home with his cats.
