MY DEAR FRIEND PHIL ( affectionally called 'FOO FOO' AND I) BEGAN OUR FRIENDSHIP IN KINDERGARTEN ABOUT 84 YEARS AGO. HE WAS ALWAYS THE BRIGHTEST STUDENT, THE MOST COURTEOUS, CONSIDERATE AND FORTHRIGHT PERSON I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO CALL FRIEND. PHIL WAS THE RARE EXAMPLE OF HUMAN COMPORTMENT THAT EXEMPLIFIED A SPIRITUAL LIFE WELL LIVED... A TRULY GREAT GUY!

MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT CIRCUMSTANCES THROUGHOUT OUR ADULT LIVES DID NOT PERMIT GETTING TOGETHER ON A REGULAR BASIS,

I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS A FURTHER TRIBUTE HERE TO THE PARENTAL INFLUENCE OF PHIL'S WONDERFUL PARENTS, AND HIS SISTER SHAKEH... AND MOST CERTAINLY HIS BEAUTIFUL 'BRIDE' KOHAR AND THEIR MUTUALLY CREATED FAMILY WHO REFLECT THE BEST OF EXPECTATIONS OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

MY WIFE ROSE AND I EXTEND OUR LOVE TO ALL.

Phil was loved by all he volunteered with at Holy Name Medical Center, he was kind and we enjoyed his sense of humor. He's been missed from the first day he could no longer volunteer.
May this sad time be lightened by cherished memories and the love of family and friends.
Phil now rests in the loving arms of God.
