A Great Man of God has gone Home, Well thought of and a trusted freind to any in need. I thank God for having the opportunity to have know him and his sweet wife.
Bro Fill u will be truly missed. He married me and my wife almost 23 years ago and he was our pastor at Cottage Hill. Our prayers go out to his family. May god be with you.
I attended Ray’s Chapel and Cottage Hill Baptist under Reverend Phil’s Pastorage. I remember my Baptism by Reverend Phil over forty years ago.
He preached the gospel of Jesus Christ and provided us with guidance for daily living according to scripture. He always preached on the wages of sin and death and our redeemer Jesus Christ. As Pat Palmer said “HE TRULY WALKED THE WALK”. If I were asked to name one righteous man, it would have been Reverend Phil.
My prayers and condolences for his family.
I have known Fillmore over forty years. He was my Pastor and my friend. He was a true gentleman and a devout Christian man. He lived his life by Biblical principles and was a true example of what we should all strive to emulate. He truly walked the walk . He will be missed.
