Ewa, We will always remember Phil. His spirit lives on forever. Beautiful Human. We need more like Phil in this world. With love, Larry & Linda

EWA, We will always remember Phil. He was a special Man & a beautiful spirit. You will always be in our hearts, Larry & Linda

EWA, We will always cherish our special time with Phil & you. Phil was a very special man. We know we will all be together someday with Phil as we all have Christ as our Lord & Savior. Phil was one the most kind, giving, respectful, and loving person I knew. I hope to emulate his beautiful spirit as I journey through life. May God bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine upon you, may He lift His countenance to you and give you peace. With love, Larry & Linda

We will always remember the kindness Phil and Ewa showed Linda and I as neighbors. Phil would not let me try to move something heavy. Well, Phil was very strong! We miss that Strong gentle giant. Phil & Ewa were a special couple. God will bring us all together again one day. With love, Larry & Linda Flahardy

Ewa and Family, My deepest sympathies for your loss. I flew with Phil back in the day on the citation 10. We always had a great time. At the end of the day he had this amazing ability to bring everybody up, after a long day. Just like your M says; Phil lifted us all! We had many sushi dinners together. Capt.Mark Levesque, a.k.a. sushi man. He will be sorely missed.

So sorry to hear of Phil´s passing and your loss. I was fortunate to fly with Phil on the global. He was a pleasure to work with. I sincerely enjoyed his company on some long haul flights we did together. He was kind, warm hearted, funny, respectful and easy to work with. The first time I was in Rome was with Phil and he knew an ton about that city. We went everywhere over a period of two days. Now every time I go there I think of Phil and all the places we went while we were there. He will...

We were next door neighbors in St Augustine to Phil & Ewa. Phil was the kindest human being I have ever met. He & Ewa always helped Linda & I if we needed to move something heavy. That gentle giant was strong! We loved Phil & Ewa very much. I know that when Phil arrived in heaven, the angels were applauding when God said: Well done good and faithful servant". We will miss him and his beautiful spirit. With love to Ewa & Family Larry & Linda Flahardy

I so enjoyed getting to know Phil while working our way through faraway lands and skies. It goes without saying that his skills as a pilot were exceptional. What I recall most fondly though, was his ready laugh at every challenge or absurdity that would present itself. He has such a happy and kind soul. We will miss spending time in his presence.

Not only will Phil be missed by his family, but also all of his NetJet family as he was just a great person, friend and pilot. Phil and were in the same initial class at NJA and he always greeted you with a smile and hello. We flew several trips together and was a great pilot. Phil you will be truly missed. Fred McNatt
