One of many fond memories I have of the Lane family was the wonderful train display they had in their home each year. Philip made a lasting impression on all who had the priviledge of knowing him.

Phil was a man you could count on. He served his community for decades and was always supportive of family and friends. Phil was a good man-steady and kind, and we are deeply saddened by his passing. We are lucky to have many memories of Phil, but above all, we'll forever remember him in his favorite Rutgers sweatshirt. All our love to Carm and Phil's family.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
