Dear cookie and Family so very sorry for your loss.
Phil was one of a kind. Always joking.
He loved talking about how proud he was of all his children and grandchildren.
All the fun stories of all their gang growing up and all the silly stuff they did together.
The friendships they all had together lasted all their lifetimes, and now they will reunite.
You are all in our prayers.
Love,
Cora & Lena Smerglinolo

Philip and Family,
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dad, and so soon after the loss of your mom. I fondly remember him from the days on Pembroke St. when my dad owned the Esso station across the street. I can picture him today behind that meat counter at the back of the market, always a smile on his face. God bless all of you and rest his soul.

Dear Cookie, Maureen, Butchie, Robin and Gerry, you're in my prayers and thoughts. He's now with Daddy and Aunt Jo, probably telling jokes and play cards with them. Nono and Nona now have their family together. My fondest memories were at holiday gatherings at the restaurant and on Maple Street. May Uncle Phil rest in peace with the Lord. Be well and stay safe, Love, your cousin Jo Anne Micalizzi and my son, John.
