Purely by chance I saw this today. I´m the same age as Phil, but I was his mom´s first cousin. My dad, Richard DeLorme, was the youngest in his family, and Bunny´s dad, Uncle Art, was the oldest. I clearly remember Philip and Sheila when they were young. He was a football player in High school. I´m happy to see that he had such a good and meaningful life. My condolences to his wife, Donna, who I met once at a party for Bea Ashley, and to Carleen. God Bless.

Sorry to hear of Philips passing. Many fond memories of family reunions with nanny and papa curt. RIP cus.

Donna, the (unexpected) obituary was a wonderful tribute to Phil. Thinking of you and your family and the current journey you are making.

So many great memories it´s hard to choose just one. All those St.Patrick´s Day celebrations, soup dinners and trivia nights were made more memorable by Phil´s wit (and hilarious sarcasm). He will be missed by so many.

Phil was a great long time friend of over 45 years. We loved his " tell it like it is" personality and sarcasm. We will miss his fried chicken, meeting him and Donna for dinner in Sackets Harbor and visits to our camp. A great friend will be missed!

A good friend, a funny guy, always ready to help, always fun to be around. We'll miss you Phil.

It's so sad to see this news. I always liked seeing Phil - such a kind presence. My thoughts and prayers to Donna and family.

Here at SPC our hearts go out to Donna and her family. Phil was a gentle presence at so many of our events and always willing to volunteer. He embodied the meaning of solidarity and we will miss him in so many ways. Thank you Phil!
