I took my job 13 years ago as a mechanic not experienced with sanding equipment. Phil would go out of his way. Anytime to help me out. Without him Ido t know what or where I'd be. I owe him a lot. I'm so sorry for your loss. I think of him every time I touch a sander. Plus a great man and friend. God bless you all.

To the entire Kivlin family I hope you know although I couldn't be there my heart is with you at this time. Phil was one of my dearest friends and my life will always have a missing piece without him. I truly believe that he went straight to heaven when he left this earth and Madelyne was there to greet him with open arms and a kiss. Always keep him in your hearts and remember all of the good times you had as a family. You were the most important people in his life. Love Polly

To all of you in the Kivlin family my heart is with you. This is one of the hardest losses I've ever had to deal with Phil was one of oldest and dearest friends. I really believe that he went straight to heaven where Madelyne welcomed him with open arms and Margie gave him a hug after busting his chops. You are all in my heart and prayers especially at this time. Love to all Polly

I'll miss joking around with you (our chevy/dodge fued)...Playing ' chicken' on Goldsmith st on our way to work...Nicknaming your wife 'Saint Madelyne' for having to put-up with you...But most of all...I'll never forget how you kept looking after me when my brother passed away. I love you Phill and I will never forget you.
