We are shocked to hear of Phil's passing. We have happy memories of spending hours just chit chatting with Phil. We will always remember our times together at Christmas in the back of the store. It won't be the same without him and we are truly sorry for you, his family and loved ones. Phil helped me through my parent's deaths with his wisdom. He always had a tear when he spoke of his wife's passing. Hopefully they are together now. Our thoughts are with you and know that the community is missing him already.

West Rouge Cleaners was a part of us growing up, your father always knew us kids, you could go into his shop and he knew you were a Doherty, even after being away for years, he was an amazing man. Your loss is felt by all.

Our deepest sympathies . I am certainly blessed to be able to have called Phil a friend. I could always count on seeing his welcoming smile and getting lost in conversation on each and every visit. Phil had many successes in life; his family of which he was so very proud, his respect in the community, and his business. He will remain forever in our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Please accept our deepest condolences. I first met Phil over 40 years ago and we - as a family - continued to do business with him up until now. He was certainly well known and respected in our community.
God bless.
