Leslie and Family,

Our thoughts are with you. We are so lucky to have known Phil, who was both a good friend and a mentor to me as chair of the Emerson Hospital Board. The Hospital will miss him greatly.

Sincerely,

Dear Leslie and family – Please accept heartfelt condolences from all of us at Emerson who are already deeply missing our dear friend Phil. His guidance, support and wise counsel will be treasured always. We are very grateful for the many years of leadership and devotion which he, and you, so selflessly gave to Emerson. We pray that you are drawing some comfort and strength from many warm memories. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Chris Schuster

Leslie and Family,

Phil was one of the finest people it has been my great privilege to know, to work with and to rely upon for experience, counsel and plain common sense. Raytheon would have been far less successful a company without his efforts and his legacy and all of us from that wide community are far poorer for his loss. Many thoughts and prayers for you and all the family.

Leslie and Family,

Our prayers are with all of you as we share your loss. You have lost a loving husband and father and we have lost a friend, who will be remembered for his kindness, gentleness and smile. As a candle lights another to illuminate a darkened room, may one fond memory gather another to keep him alive in your mind and heart forever.

Dear Leslie and family,

Words are of little help at a time like this, but Steve and I send our deepest sympathy to you and your beloved, Phil.

He was a wonderful man who inspired others, and a driving force in the Emerson Hospital community. A great teacher and an inspiration to all who knew him. He will be missed by everyone.

May he rest in Peace.
With love,
Fran and Steve Honan

Phil will be missed by many. He was a mentor and a good fiiend to many young Raytheon employees. He was always good to me and provided me guidance and counsel during the two years I supported him. I will miss him greatly. He truly was a great man and an even greater human being. He will be missed by many. My sympathy and prayers to his family and many friends.

Phil's friendship and guidance will be forever missed. He has the ability to bring warmth and humor to an otherwise tense or stressful situation, but as his school, work, and family records show Phil can play with the best. I hope all these qualities can live on through Phil's friends and family.
