Philip Raiche

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 when I first met Phil at the barn and he nicknamed me "Pam Bam" He remembered that name every time he saw me too! Such a caring and easy going spirit. It was impossible not to like him.

Every year when my dad comes to visit he especially looks forward to running into Phil in town and catching up on the years events. He will be greatly missed by us and so many more.

Mary, Meg and Family please accept our sincerest condolences,...

I have wanted to post pictures of Phil. I have a few being I worked at the fair with him. I hope others enjoy the recent picture of Phil. This Picture was taken in 2008. Charlie Matteson and Cliff Bassett are with Phil here.

In your honor Phil, Keith Roberts

Dear Meg, Mary, Julie, Paul and families,
We were sorry to learn of Philip's passing...but know that he wouldn't have wanted not to be able to get around and do the things he wanted.
He was missed at the "Maple Sugar House" by many, many people this year.
Remember the good times and take one day at a time.
Sincerely,

I can not remember the last time I saw or spoke to Phil, it has been many years since I have spent a long amount of time at my parents house. Often though, when I came to visit, I would take the road by the farm because that particular spot seemed to be a place of grounding for me. Though I did not know Phil well, I did know him all my life and no mater how long it had been since I had seen him he always had a big hello and always asked what I was up too with sincere interest.
