PHIL HAGGERTY Obituary
Phil was a talented musician and a founding member of the very popular emo-indie band Somos. His music touched thousands of fans and will continue to live on.

He loved going to the beach, spending quality time with his family and many friends, and cheering for his beloved Dallas Cowboys and Boston Celtics.
He was the loving partner of 5 years of Olivia Mignosa, the devoted son of Tabitha (Matson) Black of Roslindale, Rick Haggerty of Northampton, and his dear brothers, Patrick Haggerty and Joey Haggerty, both of Northampton. Phil is also survived by numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, and his fur babies, Max & Lola. Phil Haggerty forever!

I first met Phil at events at the Improv and was instantly impressed with his kindness and beautiful smile. He was so generous and always had such nice thoughts to share. I am truly grateful for knowing such a gracious and wonderful person.
