A picture we'll remember Phil by - the going away get-together he and Peg held at his home on Hilton Head for Bobbi & Russ May. Good times together.

I am so sorry to hear of Phil's passing. I worked for him in the early 80's when he was with the Ziff firm. He was so good natured and kind. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of Phil"s passing. My family knew him well when he was in the law offices of Bert Ziff. My brother Irving Berthod did his masonary work until he could do it no more! I remember Phil, sitting in my parents' kithen eating mothers' apple pie and having coffee. He was a lawyer that didn't make you feel like a client, but a close friend. Betty Berthod Austin

I am in shock. Phil was my attorney and a great one at that but he was also my friend. He had a way of making a bad day a good one no matter how bad it was. When his wife passed and I sent him a card he made a point to personally call me and say Thank you and we had talks after that about how she was his best friend. Well now God has called him home to his best friends side once again. And all though we will only be able to hold his fond memories of jokes, laughter and his wonderful Heart of...

I was saddened to hear about Phil's passing. Phil and I grew up together in Elmira, and he, Dick Austin, Bob Smith, and I comprised a regular golf foursome at the Elmira Country Club in the early 1950s. After many years apart, Phil and I reconnected via email recently and swapped memories of our exploits on the links during that period. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. May God bless and keep you, and give you peace.
