Not sure what to say?

I will always remember him rubbing his hands together while talking about old dragster engines. "426 wedge good stuff" .

We were very sad to hear about the loss of Phil. It is never easy to loose a parent. Our hearts go out to you all... God Bless...

Phil was a wonderful guy and a good friend for over 50 years. He will be missed by all of his Alameda friends.

I'll always remember the good times at our cousin reunion sitting by Phil laughing and crying together over Poetry, experience and a common interest in italian food. and the way he'd tell a joke or a funny incident. . He was a favorite cousin and I'll miss many tender moments with him. Extended Sympathy to his immediate family as well as extended.

It saddens me to hear about the loss of Phil Sr. Phil and Dan I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad,he was a great man and I and my family will miss him greatly.I too share one of his hobbies of gold dredging here in Tennessee and Georgia.Wow what a great man yor dad was.

Phil was our home owners association treasurer for many years until this year. As noted he was down to earth, no pretentiousness, a straight shooter. He will be missed.

I am glad to have known Phil and to have him as my cousin. He was so down to earth and likable. I have never in my whole life heard anyone who could quote poetry like he did. He was so likeable and great to be with. We enjoyed him at our reunions and other times we gathered. He could relate things to us from the past about our extended family and it helped tie us together. His warm friendship will be missed and we will never forget him.

It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.
