Phil is survived by his wife, Janice (Stanisewski) Nezballa; his children, Kimberly Boyle and her husband Michael, Mark Nezballa, and Allison DeCesere and her husband John; his grandchildren, Ryley Nezballa, Cali Nezballa and her husband, Nate Shott, Becker Nezballa, Levi Nezballa, Ryan Boyle, Nathaniel Boyle, Bryn DeCesere, and Weston DeCesere; his great-granddaughter, Libby Shott; and his sister, Monica (Nezballa) Rollins. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother-in-law, James Rollins.
