He is grateful for the opportunity to have been able to play a role in the School of Pharmacy’s recently receiving full accreditation. Phil sees his service as an act of obedience to Christ. “I believe that Jesus showed us throughout the New Testament that we are to invest our time and resources in each other’s lives — by mentoring and sharing of our talents,” he said. “Each day he opens doors of opportunity for us to serve and be used— it is our choice to walk through those open doors and spread the good news of Jesus or let them close.” Pam taught first–fourth grades at Kettering City Schools. She also helped in the pharmacies throughout the years performing health care screenings. Pam has been active in her sons’ schools as a volunteer, including serving as President of the PTA and co-founder of the Athletic Boosters Club. She has served her church through children’s, hospitality, women’s, and missions ministries. She is also a Mom's mentor at Miami Valley Women's Center. Throughout her years of service, Pam has learned the importance of giving back to people. “You will never, ever regret choosing kindness! Words of care and compassion are so important in relating to others who are hurting in today's society,” she explained. “Let them see God through you. Take time to savor special moments with family and friends.” Phil and Pam have two sons, Stephen ’01 and Andrew ’06, and six grandchildren. For their years of service to their community, Cedarville is proud to name them this year’s Honorary Alumni of the Year Award.
