Phil Tretter's Obituary
Phil Tretter, 82 of Dunedin, Fl. went to Glory on Monday, June 15th at his home surrounded by family.
Phil was born on May 29th, 1944 in San Diego,CA to Godfrey and Norma (Moylan) Tretter who preceded him to Glory along with his sister Sandy Taylor. He is survived by his wife Cydnie of 38 years, who he reflected Christ's love to every day of their lives together. And his "Baby sister" Sue Foltz.
A man desires and hopes to leave a legacy behind when he has finished his race upon this earth and Phil has done so through a legacy of beauty, kindness, grace, faith and love through his two sons Jeff and Darren and his daughter Kim Owens. The legacy continued on with his Grandchildren Cameron, Tyanna Ceglia, Ashley Dixon, Masey, Koltin and Chase. Great Grandchildren Liam, Levi, Jameson, Aliyah, Elizabeth, Ellie and arriving soon, Ceglia baby #3.
This man filled out such vast spaces in the hearts of his family and friends. It is impossible to begin to describe in fullness all that he was and is. Cydnie invites you to post a photo, a memory or story to help others see the many facets that made him, him through the lenses of their hearts.
Phil loved Jesus, so we close with his favorite scripture verse. Philippeans 4:4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice ! Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and mind in Christ Jesus.
