Not sure what to say?

We are so very sorry for your loss. We will keep the entire Chanfrau family in our thoughts and prayers.

I can only reiterate what my husband, Don Chanfrau, has already said. When we met Phil and Jan, it felt like a huge light came on. The time we spent with them was very special to us, and we looked forward to many more meetings in the future. See you later, Phil.

After nearly a lifetime of no contact at all, my wife and I were very fortunate to break bread a few times with my cousin, Phil, and his fiance, Jan, in Boston last summer. Like our fathers, he struck me as a keen observer, with a great laugh, a strong sense of fairness, and genuine warmth. I'm sad that we won't see one another again, but I value the little time we had together because it showed me what I'd been missing all those years.

I'm sorry for your loss, words that have always helped are the ones found in Philippians 4:6,7 when bad things happen i know I can kind peace and calmness in God thru prayer.

Phil hired me out of law school. I am forever grateful for his mentorship and friendship. He will be missed.

Bill and the entire Chanfrau family- Phil, my oldest friend, and I grew up splashing up minnows from the surf onto the shore while Toni, Phil and Bill's mom, would feed us baloney sandwiches and bask in the sun. 70 years later, we still kept in touch. Wonderful memories Buddy! My condolences and God speed.

I am so sorry for your loss. He seemed like an amazing and caring man. Jesus I pray you walk with this loving family in which family means everything. Love and prays to the Chanfrau family.

Phil and I played #1 and #2 on a very successful Seabreeze High School golf team. We were friendly rivals and good friends, and although we hadn't seen each other much after college, I still have many warm memories of Phil.

I was saddened to hear the news of Phil's passing today. When I saw his picture, I was instantly reminded of the kindness he showed me nearly two decades ago when I worked at Oceanside Country Club. What a beautiful way to be remembered! My prayers are for his friends and family to continue his legacy of kindness throughout their lives. May you all be blessed with many opportunities to pass on what you have learned from him. Hugs...
