To the Fawaz Family,

I was sorry to hear about your husband, father's passing in the UL.

I am even more sorry to be unable to make it to Philip's wake or funeral Mass tomorrow.

He will always be remembered by me as a proud father at the former Blessed Sacrament gym always with a smile and a good word to say about everything.
He was always so welcoming and always was there to offer a hand or a few good words.
I 'm in New York for meetings other wise I would be with you at St. Catherine's tomorrow.


Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Mary Ann and Family,
I am so sorry to learn of Phil's passing. We were friends and classmates through grade school, high school and college. We also worked together through college. Although I did not often see Phil, whenever our paths crossed, he was always unfailingly polite and a true gentleman. I know he will be missed dearly.
