To Phill's Family. What a wonderful man, kind and thoughtful. He did our accounting work and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him. I enjoyed our many conversations which were about just everything from family to current events. He loved you all very much. We will miss him. From your friends at the Western New York Artists Group

For many years, Phill and I were Rotarians together and enjoyed community service. He was a wonderful family man. He always mentioned his family when we talked. Later he helped my family with my parents' estate. I thank God that I had a chance to have lunch with him last spring. God bless a great guy!!

I was deeply saddened to learn of Phil's passing. I met him in high school and was fortunate to swim with him in the water show. He was the quintessential gentleman. Deepest sympathy to the family.

My sincerest condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of Phill over the shocking news of his unexpected passing. Phill was one of the kindest people I've ever met. In all the years that I spent working in the same office space, I never once heard him say an unkind word in his soft-spoken voice. We have lost a wonderful man, but Heaven has gained an angel.
