He will be sadly missed by his brother Don (Carol) Gruninger, Mike (Faye) Gruninger, Joe (Diane) Gruninger, and Albert (Shirley) Gruninger.

Philip was a compassionate, thoughtful, honourable man who loved his family. His quiet courage, strength of spirit, creativity and sense of humour will be carried forward by those who knew and loved him. His family joked about his never-ending ability to fix things.

The family would like to thank all the doctors, nurses and staff for the exceptional, compassionate care that was given.

At Philip's request, no funeral will be held.
