In a hundred lifetimes there will never be another Phil Cerelli! Overbrook, Philadelphia native, Army Veteran Phillip Cerelli Sr. died Wedneday, April 3rd at his Havertown home. To know him was to love him and he was extremely loved by his ever growing family. In his earlier days, Phil was a brilliant carpenter/contractor and car wash owner. After retiring, he basically drove his wife and kids crazy, as expected, filling his days with loud conversations, screaming grandchildren who called him "Pop-A-Dee", laughter, and lots of good food including his love for fine dining in the city. Being the odd Italian American who allegedly didn't like Garlic, he lived his life in denial, enjoying Sunday gravy secretly infused with it prepared by generational royalty since birth. Fun to be around on good days, stubborn as a bull, he lived a Frank Sinatra worthy life and did it his way! Relatives and friends are invited to his Visitation on Thursday, April 11th , 9:30-10:45AM with service to follow at 11AM all in the MAIN CHAPEL of the Danjolell Memorial Home of Broomall, 2811 West Chester Pike, Broomall, PA. Inurnment Private.
