I just heard today and I am deeply saddened by the news of Phil Gaughan's passing. My heart felt condolences to you and your family. We were coworkers of Verizon. Words cannot express my sorrow. We worked together on company and union situations. I remember his voice well, when Phil spoke everybody listened. May the memories of Phil help you find peace.

Too many years ago I was so in awe of Philip. He was that cool older brother always having to drive me home to Bucks County after my weekend at Patti's. That Volkswagen bug. I still remember the awkward silences that lasted forever. As we got older, he became just another brother of mine. Part of that lovely group of people I call family. He was there every time I lost a member of my own family. Always with a quiet word of condolence and a gentle hug. My heart breaks that I cannot be there to offer his family the same. My thoughts and prayers are with you Mary, Trudy and the entire Gaughan family. Rest in peace Philip. You deserve it.

I send my sympathies to Phil's family and friends. I had the great pleasure of working with Phil way back in 1988-90, when my company helped the then-Bell Atlantic with its sponsorship of a Senior PGA golf tournament outside Philadelphia. To say that I enjoyed the experience, and that I learned much from Mr. Gaughan, is an understatement of immense proportions. May God bless him and may God rest his soul.

Trudy and Family: I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Philip. I have fond memories of him from my childhood and we all always loved when he'd visit our house throughout our lives, especially on Marc's birthdays. He never missed a single year!!! He was the model Godfather to him for all these years.
I remember when you were dating and I thought he was a rock star....and so lucky to be dating you, with the longest hair I had ever seen. One of my fondest memories of Philip was in the boys bedroom @1973 ? on Torresdale Ave. They had a baby blue electric guitar. Philip was singing, Michael on guitar and me and Sally jumping on the beds as back up dancers to this song. Every time I heard this song throughout the years, I'd think of him.
(Whoa Whoa Whoa It's Magic by Pilot). Not sure if you can post videos here, so if not google it.
