Dear Margaret - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will always remember Phil as a very nice man -- and also my cousin by marriage, who when I was at William Hingston High School, also happened to be one of my Vice-Principals. How cool was that? You are in our thoughts and prayers. Alice, Kevin and the girls

My heartfelt sadness and sympathy go out to you aunt Margaret.Uncle Phil was a special person with a huge heart that I will miss dearly. I had the privilege of having him as my godfather and was always very proud of that. His sense of humor and joy in life I remember with love. Joe

Phil was always kind and generous to my sister Kate and me. He was a dear friend of our family and I am proud to have called him Uncle Phil for as long as I can remember. The Fitzpatricks will miss him very much.

To Margaret & family, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your beloved Phil. I was priviledged to have known him in the "academic world"...he was a member of the Federation of English Speaking Catholic Teachers (F.E.S.C.T.) and I was the Secretary there from 1969-1980 and our paths crossed on many occasions. He was a fine teacher and well-respected in the teaching community by his colleagues. His Irish sense of humour will be missed! May he rest in peace.
