Uncle Phil - SO MANY memories come flooding. You were a force of nature larger than life itself and could fill a room with your laughter. Perhaps my favorite memory is walking with you and a gaggle of cousins to the park in Dorchester, all the while you were singing The Unicorn. You had a way of keeping us all toeing the line AND entertained! The world just got a little smaller...until we meet again...

Much love,
Sara
