In his spare time, Phil was an avid golfer and outdoorsman, spending two weeks in the Rocky Mountains every summer.

“Phil earned the respect of his customers and peers by having the courage to stand up for what he felt was right. I learned a lot from Phil about the HVAC industry, but even more about being true to yourself and your beliefs. I am lucky to call him my friend," said Andy Rowland, vice president of sales, western region.

Wohltman is survived by his wife, Marsha, and their four children, Mindy, Matthew, Morgan and Molly.
