Phillip J. Bova

Dear Diane and family,

My heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to you at this difficult time.

I held a great respect for Phil. The four or so years, working at the Idle Hour, were some of the fondest memories I hold. Every single time I hear someone say "The Bears" or when the State Fair opens, I think of Phil, always with a smile. He loved the State Fair. The day after it ended, he would start counting the days until it opened again.

He was a good man and he will...

To the Bova Family
Very sorry to hear of Phil's passing. Whether it was soap box racers or football teams with Frank Carazuba; Phil always brought people together. He left a good impact on a lot of people and I'm sure you will see him in many that knew him. Vivian and I will miss him and know that we have lost a good friend, neighbor, and mentor.

Diane,

I am so sorry to hear about Phil’s passing that I have no words to describe it.

I feel that I’ve lost a part of my family.......

The bar has been so empty without Phil being there.

I’ll never forget that when I was little short for cash, Phil would let me put my lunch on a “tab” until I got paid on Friday. That is the quintessential definition of friend.

Without a doubt, I have lost a very dear friend today........

I can’t imagine a summer...

Uncle Gary, Aunt Sue, Marie and Michael,

I was so sorry to hear about Phil's passing. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
