Philip Norman Croteau

Bob and I want to extend or sympathy to you Paul.
Phil was a nieghbor many years ago when the family lived on Christion Hill in Lowell, as a matter of fact Bob was thier paperboy, and Phil was quite younger. Years passed and we all ended up in a new nieghborhood in Dracut on the same street, just 2 houses down.
The only consolation I can think of right now is that Marge and her 2 Phils are together again and at peace.
We will keep you and the family in our prayers.

Dear Mrs. Croteau and Paul: I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Phil. Phil and I go back to grammar school and high school. We were the best of friends for many years and I feel a great sadness in his death. Phil walked me home from church every Sunday in grammar school and picked out my gown for the Girl Officers ball. I have many fond memories of Phil. Paul, we met at our last high school reunion four years ago. My prayers are with you and Phil's mother at this time.

Paul, My deepest sympathy to you. Phil was a former co-worker who was full of life and laughs. He will be missed.

Paul- I am so very sorry for your loss. I know that you and Phil had a special bond which was an inspiration. Our world has lost a special person in Phil's passing but you now have a guide who continues to send love to you and will watch over you.
May the memories of your wonderful life together help to heal your sorrow.
You remain close in thought and prayer.

The brief time that I knew Phil I realized how special he was as a man; his art work remains a testament to his uniqueness and talents. I offer you my deepest condolences, Paul, as you mourn the loss of your life's partner and friend. He touched many lives with his presence.

Paul - There is little one can say at a time like this. But I'd like you to know that I'm thinking of you and Phil's mother and that you have my heartfelt sympathy.
Phil had a rich full life and lived every mintue of it withour regrets. Let the thoughs of a life well-spent be your consolation now.
Knowing phil as I did, I am sure that is the way he would have wanted it.
You will miss him, as all his friends will. But time will bring comfort in the fond memories of your many years...

The love and committment between Paul and Phil are an inspiration. They embodied what marriage is all about - devotion, sharing, growth, forgiveness, unconditional love and unconditional support for each other. Phil's passing is a loss that will be felt by many more than either of them ever thought. His courage, humor, impish wickedness, generosity, imagination and talent have left the Earth a richer, brighter place and our lives fuller. We will never forget you, and will always love...

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
