With fond remembrances of Phil, my 1st cousin once removed (as he reminded me often), my heart is saddened by his passing. With deep sympathy,prayers&love for all the Kasik family, so many memories flood my thoughts..years of spending time together from Riverside to Marco Island. Will miss his random calls from time to time just to connect& my receiving obscure photos of family members, some of which I didnt remember but he always did! Through all these years, I'm grateful to have shared times with Phil&thankful we were always family. With blessings&love will hold my Cousin Phil's memory dear

I met phil in the winter of twenty twenty in naples, florida while on assignment working with the Naples daily news. I imagine, like most people who met Phil, we became fast friends.I have really enjoyed talking with phil mostly over the phone for the last couple of years.Living in delavan, Wisconsin we always talked about getting together but never really did.I found ,him to be one of the friendliest guys I've ever met.I'm going to miss him.

God bless

I worked for Phil at Kasik & Sons during my Morton West high school days and was a satisfied Kago client later in life! Phil was great to work with in both capacities. Condolences to the entire Kasik family over the death of such a high energy personality.

I'm sorry for your loss. So sad to see a man I knew since I met you at 19. His loss is a very sad thing to happen. He will now be with the Angels and next to god.
