Philip A. Blose

I am sad to hear of Phil's passing and my condolences go to his family. As a young man in IBM In 1990 I was privileged to meet with him and have his audience to discuss my career. He was a thoughtful and gentle man who listened well.

I had the pleasure an honor of being hired by Phil and working with and for him during the first years of my career, and am forever thankful. I recently had indirect contact with Phil through our mutual friend Dr. Smith of Manhattan college, who first introduced me to Phil over 30 years ago. Phil, many people in TPF still remember you fondly and we will miss you very much. May you rest in peace.

Certainly our words are very inadequate at time like this,but be assured of our thoughts and prayers for not only Phil but for all of you who loved him. Sincerely, Gorton Reunion Committee

We were fortunate to share many memorable experiences together. These memories will last forever. Phil, we miss you. I'll see you on the first tee with Bill and Sid at the Great golf Course in the sky.

We enjoyed many wonderful trips, ball games and other fun experiences. We already miss his presence. Phil may be gone but memory of him will last forever.

Phil was a gentle and fun person. It was always a pleasure be with him at dinner, the beach or golf. He will be missed by his family and all his friends and acquaintances. Many happy memories.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
