Philip J. DeSantis

To Phil's family. My deepest sympathy goes out to you all. I haven't actually seen Phil since he was a young boy. I use to hang around with his sister Marie.

Marie and I were good friends growing up but haven't seen each other in awhile. From the pictures I can see that Phil had a beautiful family. My heart goes out to all of you. He was...

Phil,
It was a pleasure for both me, Jessilyn, Leah, & Allyson to know you. You were one of the nicest, kindest, gentle hearted men I ever met.

Dear Aunt Irene, Uncle Joe, Maria, Susan, Richard, and all the DeSantis Family,
The news of Philip’s illness and death has been and is so difficult. As I think about Phil back in the days we were growing up, I realize Phil was doing then what he continued to do the rest of his life…teach those around him how to enjoy life. I will always treasure my memories of the family get-togethers and I want you to know that Phil played a major role in shaping those happy memories. Phil was a great...

With sympathy, love, and prayers,
