Dear Susan and Martha,

I am so sorry to hear about Philips passing. I have a vivid picture of him as a teenager, he had such a funny sense of humor and was very , very cool in my young eyes at the time.

My thoughts are with you both and I would like to pass on my condolences to both his wife and children.

Sincerely, Susan Kastner Paradise

I want to extend my condolences to the family. Mr. Alpert was an inspiration to all who had the good fortune to know him. His firm supplied a mill that I worked at and I always respected his honesty and ethics. May God Bless and keep your family as you deal with this great loss.

It's so difficult to say goodbye to my best friend of forty-five years. I will always remember him for the thousands of bad jokes told to me over time, but most important to me his loyalty to an old friend. Phil was a special person and the only person I ever idolized. Cindy, you Jeremy and Greg can be certain that your husband and father was the best. I love him very much, and will miss him terribly.

Love, Joel, Susan, Marc and Dori
