Philip attended Western Alamance High School and made his career in sales, living in Colorado and California for a while before returning and settling in Sneads Ferry, N.C. He loved the beach and married his wife, Judith (Jude) Huckabee Whitesell, in a ceremony performed on a deck overlooking the ocean at Indian Beach, N.C. They spent many happy years in Sneads Ferry.
After her death, he moved to Asheville where he built a cabin in the woods near his sister’s house.
