Pam, Brian, Shawn, Phil, Zoe, Nico, & Max,
It's hard to believe a year has passed. When you speak of your Dad, it's always in the present. I feel that your Dad is still here, guiding and protecting you. On this anniversary, may you, again, be wrapped in all the love and affection you always received in the past.

Phil - our paths crossed not that many years ago but since then we have shared many experiences and fun times together - some of which were breath holding. What I will miss most is our frequent get togethers at Gibson's with Bill and your family members and the time spent sharing and listening to the many fascinating stories you always had to tellus. Our times with Father Boyle and Bishop Listecki also bring back great memories. I'm sure you have found your place in heaven and someday I hope...

Phil knew how to enjoy life......we lift our favorite beverage in his honor.

Philip,
You will surely be missed by all those who knew you. No matter what others thought of you, you remained true to form. Your style, though unorthodox at times, was admirable. You didn't pull punches or throw rocks and hide your hand. You spoke your mind and you said exactly what you felt. Your honesty was often times misunderstood, however I respected and loved you for being a man that spoke his words without hesitation and meant them truthfully. Your policy, like mine, was...

Dear Brian, Butch, Pam and Shawn,
Your dad touched many lives, he was a wonderful man. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. May your memories of your dad bring you comfort. He will be in my prayers.

Dear Brian, Butch, and Pam - I found out about Phil rather late, and I must send this message to you and your Dad.
Phil, firstly I regret not seeing you for quite a while. Time flies quickly, and you never want to think someone you knew and did love would not be around one day.

Phil, you gave me a start as an architect, you had faith in me, you gave me shelter in difficult times, you cracked me up with laughter about almost everything. You did your best to inspire me - I'm not yet...

Patti & Brian,
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. Please know my family prayers our with you and your family and if you need us we are here. Jacqueline Bass & family
