Born on March 28, 1949 in Adrian, MI, Phil was the youngest of eleven children born to Herbert F. and Florence F. (Gaddy) Six. He attended Onsted Community Schools graduating with the Class of 1967. While in high school Phil was a 4-sport athlete, competing in football, basketball, track and baseball. Phil held the record for the 440 in track from 1967 to 2012. On April 23, 1992 Phil married Diana Mason and they have shared 29 years together of love and memories. For over 20 years Phil worked at Burdicks Kitchen and Bath in Adrian. During that time, he worked in ordering and shipping; and transitioned to supervising the “Top Shop” where he worked on building and installing the countertops. Prior to his time at Burdicks, Phil was a supervisor at Brazeway in Adrian. Phil was involved with his children’s activities while they were growing up. He was the 4-H horse superintendent at the Lenawee County Fair for several years and then went on to coach the Equestrian team at Adrian High School. His love of horses led him to start Brandywine Haflingers, where he and Diana bred and showed horses in the surrounding states for many years. He was also an officer for the Great Lakes Haflingers Association. In his retirement years, Phil started golfing again and found great pleasure out on the course. If he wasn’t playing golf, he was at a sporting event or watching the game on TV. He treasured his role of father and grandfather, and always cherished time spent with his family.
