My condolences to the De Lillo family. I did not have the pleasure of knowing this fine man, but I did have the pleasure of working with his wonderful wife, Sandy, and his lovely daughter, Chris. You all will be in my thoughts & prayers.........Gloria Maestas

My condolences to Sandy and the DeLillo family. I knew Phil for many years while a member of the Henderson Jaycees. Although we drifted apart many years ago after we "aged out", I have thought about Phil over the years and the many weekends of community service we spent together. Phil will be remembered for his service to BHS and the Henderson Community.
