It is with tremendous sadness — beyond our comprehension — that we share with you that Phillip Andrew Wood passed away Wednesday, August 2nd,” Wood’s wife Hope stated in an announcement via social media. “He was an immeasurably cherished and devoted husband, father, son, son-in-law, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, colleague, friend, teacher, and human. He was truly the love of my life and my best friend.”
