My sincere condolences to Mary Ann on Phil's passing and to Chris, Todd and Tara on the passing of their dad. Phil was one of the nicest people a person could hope to meet. I have fond memories of St. Catherine CYO basketball. It was great to watch our kids play hoop together. Phil, your kids are a testament to the type of person that you were. You will be greatly missed.

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.

Sorry to hear about Phil. It's been many years since our paths have crossed. I have so many great memories of both you and Phil from me sitting at your mothers kitchen table to play pick-up games of baseball and basketball with Phil and the boys behind your parents house on Lovering Street.
