Philip Walden Jr.

I didn't know Philip well, but every time I saw him, he was very friendly and kind, a truly good person. He was gone much too soon.

We never met you but my husband and I moved into the home you built on West Ponce this past April. Our four children absolutely adore living here, as do we. May you rest in peace and may God give your loving family enough strength to bear their grief.

Missing you bunches. Hope you are happy up there. You are certainly in good company. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and the gift of knowing you. xxxooo wishing you peace.

Dreading this year without you. Hope you are happy and whole now. Be free and know you will always be loved and deeply missed.

Melissa, I just heard about Your loss of Phillip. My heart goes out to You and Your family. You will be in my prayers, Love, Hildegard

While I didn't know Phil well, I met him during the Goodman Cup Squash Tournament where we played a match together. I truly enjoyed meeting him and he was a gentleman of the first degree. I know he will be missed by all. May God be with his family during this trying time.

I met Phil in 1991. He was in my first group of writing students at Mercer Law School. I admired his intellect and his beautiful writing. Later, I admired the love of life, his children, his wife, his family and his musical family that he shared on Facebook. I was so sad to learn he was no longer among us, only a few minutes ago.

Peace to all who intensely love him and shared in his life. May his spirit give you the strength and beauty that he had in this life.

I had the pleasure of meeting Phil while coaching Michael at AYSA soccer...I am very sad to hear about his passing.
