To Phil's family,

Working with Phil for several years while I was Vice President for Development at Wentworth was a true pleasure. I am greatly saddened to learn of his passing. He was a wonderful person. Phil's personality, sincerity, commitment and hard work on behalf of the Institute's alumni - in the years before he was elected President of the Alumni Association as well as when he held that position - were of great service to the school and to them. Please accept my sincere condolensces for your tragic loss. Sincerely,

Dear John, Jean, Peter and Pam,
Our family was very saddened to hear about Philip's passing. It's seems like yesterday that he was in the yard playing with his cars and trucks and swimming in the pool. I am sure you are very proud of Philip and the accomplishments he made during his young life. We always knew he was a very caring individual. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

To Phil's Family & Cheryl Perrault
We all in Wentworth's Athletic Department were saddered to hear about Phil's passing.He was a great friend to Alums and students alike. Phil never missed alumni games and receptions and always spoke highly of Wentworth and the education he was afforded. I considered Phil a true friend to me and my wife Debbie. Phil was loyal to a fault!
He loved Wentworth and he will be sorely missed, but not forgotten

I saw that Hummer and its lights come around the corner and yelled Merry Christmas. The next thing you know Phil was on the porch. I am so grateful to have spent that time with him. He loved the Cape and especially the special area he lived. Phil is going to be so missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to Phils
family and his very special friend Cheryl.
