I was searching for friends I haven't been in touch with for some time and came upon this obit for Phil. We were neighbors and friends and shared many great times together. I have wonderful memories when we all lived in Los Gatos at Courtside. Phil I hope you and Bert (your tennis buddy and friend) have met up once again... he passed on September 23, 2012. My love to the Kavanaugh family. I am sure you all miss him very much. With love and prayers, Sandra Rettner.

I just happened upon this now. So sorry to hear about the passing of Dr Phil (the pet name he allowed me to call him). His help and support are the reason I am here to write this. RIP doctor, you WILL be missed!

His passing was a loss for all of us, but he was so grateful for the constant love and devotion he received from his wife Nancy and his children and grandchildren´s attendance.
