To the Abrams Family I wish to extend my deepest sympathy and condolences. I have known Phil some 50 years and have always considered him a mentor and one of the most admirable people I have ever known. With his lifetime friend, Larry Green, their example of honesty and integrity have been guidance for me as to how to live a life. God Speed my friend. Richard Garaffo

My deepest and sincerest condolences & sympathies to Abrams family. I worked for Phil at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) when he was Assistant Secretary forHousing and the Under Secretary. He was a happy man, genuinely happy and had a great sense of humor. Phil was much more than a good supervisor; he was a great FRIEND.

I´m so sorry to hear about Phil. My family loved him, as well as the entire Abrams family, so much. Sending love to all of you. He was such a great guy!

I didn't know your dad well, but clear in my memory is how proud he was of you and your brothers, and rightfully so. My best wishes to you and your family as you share your loss with us all.

Philip Abrams, a BHS57 scholar. A total great person, all around. One who never bragged about himself or his many accomplishments. I´m so privileged to know Phil. Dick Kates

I was so sorry to hear that Phil had passed away. I served with Phil in the Reagan administration. He had a great feel for people and a wonderful sense of humor. He was an outstanding leader and I learned much from his example. He had the qualities that are in short supply in public service today. He will be greatly missed.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Thank you, Sir, for your service to this great country. Rest in well-deserved peace. Jeff Moreno and his family

Sincere condolences to the Abrams Family. I have nothing but fond memories. I worked for Phil when he was both Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner and as the Under Secretary at HUD. We both came from the Boston area so we had that in common. I told his son Jonathan yesterday (when I learned that Phil had passed away) that I was so impressed with the fact that when the boys were in summer camp, Phil wrote a postcard to EACH son every day and would walk down to the...
