Phil’s 40 year electrical career began with Lark Electric until starting his name sake Drexler Electric. His customers didn’t hire just any electrician; they chose to use a trusted friend for his master skills. He appreciated and loved the smiles after completing electrical and carpentry work that seemed so easy to him, which will now live on as his memory at all of the family cottages.

Phil’s grandsons brought the biggest smiles to his face and were the love of his life. He loved every minute spent with them putting corn out for the deer, looking for buck rubs, fish in the pond and giving under-ducks.

He loved the outdoors and was an accomplished fisherman, gun and bow deer hunter. He proudly displayed his numerous trophies for all to admire on his basement walls. Phil also enjoyed spending many fall Sundays cheering on his favorite NFL team, whether it was from the bleachers or pacing in front of the TV…GO Pack GO.

Phil enjoyed being a part of God’s family at Grace and proudly served on the Property Board and as Property Overseer for many years.
