My sincere condolences to PJ´s family. We were fraternity brothers at U K and I recall him as a cheerful, creative and very helpful friend. A good man by any measure.

I just read of PJ's passing and am sending my very best personal wishes to his family. He was a great classmate and teammate at Henry Clay High School and great friend beyond. We spent a lot of time together in the 1960s and early 1970s when we both lived and worked in Louisville.
Later we saw less of each other, but it was always a pleasure to catch up with the latest about this talented and good man. Rest in peace my friend.

It is with a heavy heart that I acknowledge Phil´s passing. Phil was a mentor and a friend. I was fortunate enough to have served with Phil and his very talented Computer Graphic Design faculty at Spencerian College for a decade. I will always remember those years fondly. The world is diminished in the wake of Phil´s passing.
