I second what my son Chris wrote. Having Phil for a neighbor for over 30 years was indeed a wonderful experience. We talked a lot and he was a very good man. I remember when he won the car, visited with the Packer players who came to the park to mentor the kids playing football, got grape leaves from me to make a special dish he liked that his mom had made and just talking for hours. Everyone should be lucky enough to have such a great neighbor. Jan Deneys

Phil was a good friend that I met when I joined the Eagles Club. He was a 70 year member who welcomed a stranger as a friend. He will be dearly missed by his Eagle brothers. I hope some day to be half the gentleman that Phil was. Good-Bye old friend.

Mr Buck was my neighbor for many years when I was growing up. He was always smiling and friendly. He was the kind of guy you want to have as a neighbor. He will be missed.

He and his wife were such good friends of my mom, Dorothy Ross. They loved sharing jokes and laughing. He will be missed. Rest in peace, Phil.
