Editor’s note: Kaneville resident Lou Roenna gave the eulogy at the recent services of his neighbor, Dutch Phillips. Lou then submitted that eulogy as a letter to the editor. We are happy to share his thoughts on his good friend in this space in our paper.

“I’ve never been a person that cries over spilt milk,” Dutch Phillips said. “I never felt sorry for myself. It happened—deal with it; and that’s what I do.”
