Come Together

Moore Funeral Home
1219 N Davis Dr
Arlington 76012
[Davis and Randol Mill]

6-8pm Friday night for the viewing and the funeral will be at 9:30 on Saturday morning.

If you can, let me know if you and any guests/team mates are attending either the viewing or the funeral. I believe they are attempting to get an estimated amount that will be in attendance.


Hockey guys and gals, just to let you know, it has been cleared by the family to wear your jerseys on SATURDAY as it will be a respectful gesture from his hockey family. Just make sure not to wear shorts, flip flops, etc. Dress as you normally would for a funeral and wear your jersey over that. Oh, and make sure its clean, LOL [sorry I have to find humor some where].

On Friday,
Phillip's brother said if you would like to wear dark Dallas Stars shirts, etc that would be ok.

Thanks,
Dallas

Here is a write-up from the Star Telegram:

After-school teacher loved to play recreational hockey

ARLINGTON — Phillip Talley had no problem making himself at home whenever he visited his friends.

In fact, his friends’ parents knew to keep the refrigerator stocked with Gatorade because that’s where he was going first.

Mr. Tally, a recreational hockey player and after-school teacher, died last weekend in a one-car accident in south Arlington. He would have turned 24 this month.

Friends remembered the Martin High School graduate on a blog about the Euless-based hockey team he played for.

"Phillip was like a third son to us," wrote Karen and William Lehr on the blog Saturday Night Heroes. We "used to kid him [we were] going to claim him on our taxes because he was at our house so much."

Another message came from Steven Frye, who said his favorite moments with Mr. Talley were off-ice.

"No matter where we ran into each other, I was always greeted with a hug and a 'Hey, Coach,’ " Frye wrote. "Coaches aren’t supposed to have favorites, but Phillip was one of mine."

Morris Talley said his son’s life "was cut short, but we loved him every minute of his 23 years."

"This is just an unfortunate accident that happened to a great person," he said Wednesday.

Mr. Talley will also be missed at the Children’s Courtyard on Pleasant Ridge Road in southwest Arlington, where he taught second- through sixth-graders, said Shannon Bradley, campus director. "He had a playful way to make the students feel at ease during sports activity," Bradley said. "The students that were at first nervous about a sport would be in love with the sport after playing with Phillip."

Mr. Talley is also survived by his mother, Josie; brother, Eric; and sister, Monica.
