Philip T. Leslie

I was stunned and very saddened to hear of Phil's passing. I always thought I would see him again. He was one of the brightest spots of my time at Eastern...especially the years in management. We had a standing 4 o'clock discussion on the F/A contract and how it should be interpreted....lots of laughs....that was the best thing about Phil....he had a GREAT laugh and it went to his eyes which krinkled and danced. For years after Eastern's demise I would have the "Eastern" dream where I...

At Eastern Airline in Miami, Phil was one of the first people I had the pleasure of meeting. He was always so friendly and helpful to everyone that he earned the nick name "Mr. Nice Guy'. He will be greatly missed.

My favorite thing about Phil is the way he could make Kim laugh. He loved his family dearly and Kim was the light of his life. He always surprised me with his humor and I loved to hear Kim laugh at his quick wit. He was a kind and hard working man that will be remembered by so many for the wonderful person he was and how he cared about everyone.

My best to all of the family and thank you for sharing Phil with me and all of us in a small way.

Much love to you all.

Dear Kim and family
Your dear sweet husband and father was my favorite crew scheduler back in the 1970's when I flew for Eastern. He was everyone's favorite because he was so friendly and nice to all of us. He always had a great big smile for everyone and I'm so glad I had the pleasure of knowing him. God's peace be with all of you.

I have the honor and privilege to have met, known, work and travelled with Phil. He indeed was the consummate gentleman and truly cared for those he knew and liked. I never recall Phil having anything negative to say about anyone - if he didn't like someone he just smiled. God blessed Phil with a great and loving wife, sons and extended families. We lost an angel this past month - but God has added a new one to his kingdom. May God bless the entire Leslie family.

I WAS FORTUNATE TO WORK WITH PHIL AT AIRBUS. POSITIVE, SMILING AND A FRIEND TO ALL. I'M SURE WE WILL MEET AGAIN. SAFE TRIP PHIL. JIM

I met Phil on a train on our way Parris Island on July 27, 1967 and became best friends instantly. We joined Eastern Airlines together and we were pretty inseparable for the next 3 years. Taking his mother to Ireland was one of the highlights of that time. Imagine a kid from Ohio, a Cuban from Miami and his Irish mother together on a trip to Ireland. We had a blast!
So many memories as we stayed in touch all those years. We would talk about our families and,of course, the best part is...

Wow.....I have no words to describe how I feel, words cannot express my sadness. Phil was a co-worker and friend. We even shared a birthday.
All I can say is that God had a bigger plan for him and this is why he had to go and assist him in Heaven. He will be looking after all of us and mainly the family he loved to the MAX.
To Phil's family:
I pray that in the midst of your sorrow you find comfort in all the joyful memories shared.
Blessings to all of you.

RIP Phil...

So sorry to learn of Phil's passing. While taken too soon, I'm sure Phil was at peace having been blessed with so many great years with the love of his life and a loving family.
