uncle phil, what can i say? you were the best uncle anyone could ever have. you gave me and my kids a wonderful life filled with so much love and laughter. you were such a crazy nut, always the life of the party, whether it be a singing cowboy, making your crazy noises and especially when you were santa. things will never be the same without you and auntie ponti., but we'll have wonderful memories and pictures. no one loved us more than ponti and you., and we loved you just as much. " you and pont" were are "family". we'll be lost without you.
love and miss you,
debbie

Dear Uncle Phil,
I will miss you as you were always such a sweetheart and funny guy. You and my dad used to have such a good time together. I still have pictures of myself when I was a little girl, sitting on your knee and singing while you played the guitar. God Bless your family. I am glad that you and Auntie Ann are at least together now. Love, Judi
