One thing for sure, whenever I stepped in the ring to spar with Phil, I was ready to receive some very powerful hits from a man 20 pounds smaller than me! Boy could put it on you! He earned my respect then and still now. A great guy!

I met Phil while boxing. Although he was in a lighter weight class than me, boy could he put a hurting on you. Phil taught me to respect the small guys! He was a tenacious and great boxer, always attacking his opponent! Rest in peace Phil! I never forgot you!

I met Phil during my high school years. I remember his big smile and BIG muscles. Thank-you Phil for your kindness and making me feel welcome. My prayers from afar to The Pruzzo Family and all who were lucky to meet him too!

I enjoyed our time together at church laughing and joking around. I admired your discipline in keeping yourself physically fit. I also appreciated the pride you had for your family.
