To Phil's family,
Phil and I were great friends back in 1974 and on. We shared many wonderful times then along with several others during our college years. I never knew anyone who did not like Phil as he was one of the most honest, kindest, gentlemen at Salem! We played a lot of tennis together at the courts, bowled often at the Cozy, ran the hill together preparing for Greek Week great memories were made back then!
In July of 1980, he (along with many other alumni), drove up to my wedding near Buffalo, NY, then, in 1987, Phil ventured up again so we could all drive together to another fraternity brothers wedding in Long Island, NY. (My children were screaming and Phil was very hesitant to leave them with my parents)! He loved my children and all of our friends children!
I haven't conversed with Phil in a while now - maybe a few years. I will miss him!
Sincere condolences to his family - he spoke of you all so often and will be truly missed by so many!!!
