Phil Pierson has had a place in my life since I was in high school. Phil was the Flint Journal Sports coverage person for the County B league that my school belonged to. As a high school athlete, I couldn't wait to open that paper the next day after we had played a contest in our league whether it was football, basketball, or baseball. He had a way of making those events feel so much bigger than they actually were. I think that was because of the way he approached life...full of enthusiasm. I always felt good after reading those articles. After graduating from high school, Phil was the first person to invite me to be on a "classic league" bowling team. It was then that I observed the enthusiasm with which he approached everything, not just writing sports articles. As many of us did during those "golden years," it was so much fun reading Phil's bowling articles every Sunday morning in the Journal. He made bowling seem so important in Flint. He made you aware of the "reputation" that this town carried in the bowling circles. If writing about bowling on Sundays wasn't enough, Phil wrote one outstanding bowling article after another in the 11th Frame Bowling News. Whether it was very enjoyable journalism or enthusiastic friendship, Phil brought me joy for 44 years.
Thanks for all of it Phil...I will miss you.

With deepest sympathy for your loss. Phil covered our Bendle sport teams for years and we developed a great relationship. I always thought highly of his skills and respected how he handled his duties. Thank you Phil for all that you did to help us celebrate so many special moments in our lives. You will be missed.

My heartfelt condolences to Martha and Phil's children. I wish I had gotten to know Phil when I was beginning as a news reporter at the Journal from June 1969 to December 1972. I didn't know he too was a MSU grad but three years before me. While our paths seldom crossed at the Journal, I admired his dedication to a sport I didn't understand, bowling. Reading his life story helped me understand what a special man he was.

Marty...My heart breaks for you....I am very fortunate to have known Phil. The way he made you feel special during an interview and the support to all of the bowlers in Flint made him special. I'll always remember his smile and warmth.
