Passed away, surrounded by his family, on August 7, 2025 at the age of 74.

Predeceased by his parents, James & Dorene Misner; sister, Deborah Berwalt; In-law's, Anne & Americo "Moe" Pannoni; grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins & friends.

He is survived by his adoring wife of 53 years, Barbara Misner; his loving son, Jason (Tiffany Arnold) Misner; his adoring granddaughter, Brooklyn & his faithful grand pup, Indy Mae, both of whom held a special place in his heart; brother, Jeffrey (Diane) Misner; brother-in-laws, Alex (Karen) Pannoni & Jerome Berwalt; special nieces, Michelle (Peter Schuster) Pannoni, Danielle (Brian) McFadden, Jaclyn McFadden & Aislynn Berwalt; many loving extended family members & friends.

The family would like to thank the staff at Highland Hospital, 4th floor W, for their loving care & compassion.

Phil was a devoted member of the Knights of Columbus, where he spent countless hours giving of his time and talents. On Fish Fry Fridays, you could always find him in the kitchen, cooking with skill and joy. For Phil, preparing a meal was never just about food—it was about bringing people together and making them feel cared for.

Phil embraced life fully. He enjoyed playing golf, lifting weights, listening to Rock & Roll, savoring a good cigar, and admiring the beauty of muscle cars. These passions reflected his spirit—strong, vibrant, and full of energy. Above all, Phil treasured time with his friends and family, who were at the very center of his life.

He will be remembered for his generous heart, his unwavering loyalty, and the way he could make everyone feel welcome. Phil’s presence was a gift, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew and loved him.
