Phil was born on Aug. 20, 1921, in Sioux City, the son of George E. Greedy and the former Marjorie Eggleston. Phil graduated from Sloan (Iowa) High School, attended Iowa State University and graduated from the University of Nebraska with a B.S. degree in accounting.

He married Joyce P (Enockson) Greedy on Jan. 26, 1946. He was married for 64 years prior to Joyce’s death in 2010.
