We have such good memories of Phil in Florida sitting at the shed, drinking coffee, and having lots of laughs. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ione

Phillip Milella is my uncle.....I never heard him grumble or complain no matter what hand he was dealt....He always had a smile on his face;and I will never forget my box of coal and sticks that he gave me one Christmas; around 1956.....He will be surely missed.
With love, Your niece; Patty
