Phillip owned and operated the Ozark Sash and Door Company with his brother, Pat Hanby, until he retired in 2003. Phillip's passions in life were his family and the outdoors. His favorite thing in the whole world was being altogether with his wife, two sons, two grandsons, and his daughter-in-law. Phillip loved hunting, fishing, and floating the Kings River. He constantly pursued ways to improve the land of his Fishhook Ranch for the betterment of nature. He was always surrounded by great friends he had made over the years.
