Phil, the second floor won't be the same but after 32 years of service with a smile, you deserve this retirement

This is the resolution that was presented to one of my favorite HCSO deputies and court bailiffs. About 30 of his colleagues including Sheriff Mike Dowmey and Undersheriff William Honsal were present for the proclamation. He got a standing ovation from the Supervisors.

Phil always has a smile, he is even tempered but if you do get him mad, which is rare you better watch out!
