Phil was a good friend and fellow classmate of all of us growing up in Nassau. We were a small village so we all knew everyone. God Bless you. My condolences to his family.

Patti & Phil,
I am truly sorry for your loss. I valued Phil's friendship for many years. Phil was one of the few men I knew, that lived up to the positive male role model image that I grew up with. His love and dedication to the both of you was evident everytime I saw him. You have been blessed to be the most important people in his life.

Patty, Phil...please accept my sincere condolence - as God gave Phil love in his life and peace, may you be comforted by joy knowing how much he was loved and appreciated in life.
