Damn, Tom, I'm shocked. Phil was a friend and one of my favorite makers. For those that didn't know Phil Boguszewki you missed meeting a true craftsman and gentleman. R.I.P., Phil.
Just got the info yesterday, Sue Boguszewski is who I am very sad for, she and Phil have been married for what seems like forever, keep her in your prayers, please.
I'll miss talking to Phil at the shows I'm able to attend, but grateful that I had the chance to do so in the past. Prayers for Sue and the rest of his family.
I reached out to Phil completely out of the blue a couple of years ago asking him to make a knife for me. I enjoyed my conversations with him during that process even more than the cherished knife he made for me. Among other things, I learned that he had spent three years stationed in the Army at Ft. Eustis in the late 60s. He was in the Army Band and he told me of playing at night off post with local dance bands in Newport News, Hampton, etc. I guess he had a lot of talents. I will miss him. Prayers sent for his wife and family.
Terribly sad news. My deepest condolences to his wife and family.
