Not sure what to say?

I think of Phil often when the song " Boys of Fall" plays by Kenny Chesney on Alexa. He was a great competitor on our O´Hara football and a team leader. His life was a reflection of that same winning spirit and each time we met through the years it was an inspiring conversation. Of course I think of Jim as well my classmate and friend, and the family. My friendship and strong memories were like most who Phil knew. God bless the entire family in their loving memories.

I'm so sorry to hear about Phil. We worked together on many wellness projects and he was a force of nature when it came to wellness. Always had a kind word and a big heart. My condolences to his entire family.

My deepest condolences to Bonnie and entire family. Phil has left a legacy of creating health warriors around our country and it was an amazing privilege to work with him. He ran with endurance to establish public policy initiatives- to numerous to mention- that improved the health and well-being of many. Rest in Peace my dear friend and mentor.

My condolences and prayers go out to the Haberstro family. Phil was a special man who was extremely humble and giving. We as his friends were fortunate to know him. He was always available to help anyone in need A true Buffalonian who will be sorely missed.

Phil was an amazing human! All of WNY will miss him.

I am so sorry to hear the news. My father (Norm) always spoke so highly of Phil. They were involved in many projects together. Whenever my husband (Mark) & I spoke with him, he was always so gracious & supportive to our family. Again, we send our condolences.

I was so very sorry to hear about Phil. I knew him back in his Brockport days and even then you knew he was destined for great things. My condolences to his family. I know he will be missed.
