Memories and Condolences
for Philip Perez
May 15, 2011
Seeing Phil had passed took me back to memories of seeing him at Poly High, the Hutch, and around the Long Beach of our youth. We would see each other about town as we did our work and he always had a smile and a friendly hand shake for me and I for him. A good man.
Rest in peace,
Jack Dilday, Poly class of 1960

MY memories of my great uncle Phillip are ones in which I remember him coming over to greatgrandma house in his squad car. One day he came over and when he came in the house he handed me a pack of "Hot Wheels" one of my favorite things growing up. may you have sweet dreams.

My memories of growing up as the oldest neice in the perez family were only great ones! remembering each time Phillip was present and thinking what a nice handsome uncle I had. I remember him always having a toothpick in his mouth and smelling good! Memories of him are great ones, we celebrate his life! Rest in Peace Uncle!

My memories of my uncle Phillip go way back. I thought he was sooooo good looking and I had a big crush on him (I was about 10 yrs. old at the time)!! I was nicknamed "Glue" because I always wanted to be near him. Those were some of the best times growing up. I will miss my uncle very much. Rest in peace.....

We wish to send our condolences. Phil was a great neighbor to us and our parents for many, many years. Phil's gregarious personality and helpful demeanor was always a bright spot in our day, when we spoke to him. We wish all the family our best and know that he is resting in peace.

Phillip was a wonderful person who never changed from the time we were friends at Lafayette Elementary. He was always a kind, generous, and humorous person who brought light and love everywhere he went. We are deeply saddened by his passing but fond memories of him will continue to brighten and bring joy to our lives.

Dear Perez Family,
Just wanted you to know how much my mom, Gertrude Buma appreciated Phil's caring heart and his friendship to her when she lived a few doors down on Keynote St. Phil was a very nice and thoughtful person helping her out various times after my dad passed away. She is very saddened to hear the news of his passing. May the Lord be with each of you during this difficult time. Sincerely, Linda

Philip was my uncle, I remember him best from my childhood,he was fun. He would often stop by to eat lunch during the summer at my grandmas house (his moms). He wouldn't call me by my name Jerri he called me "Lazy Bones Jones" cuz I would wake up at his arrival. Uncle Philip always gave me attention.sometimes he would hand cuff me to something while he ate. he gave me a Charlie Horse once, that sucker hurt! R.I.P Uncle Philip, thanks for being part of my childhood,and making me laugh.

Philip was a good friend to many. I'm glad he was also my friend. We went to high school together and have had many mutual friends through out the years. He was an outgoing guy with a great sense of humor. He will certainly be missed by family and friends.

Phil and I were classmates at Poly and I knew him well. We had great times at parties, at the Hutch, and football games. The memories of those years were treasures and he was certainly a part of them. I saw him over the years at reunions, and while I was an administrator at Franklin Jr. High. He was working the neighborhood and we cooperated and shared information. He was a good man! Always polite and positive. I don't remember him ever saying a bad word to or about anybody. I'm proud to have known him and am grateful for the times we shared. He will be missed! John Green, Poly class of '59

Phil and I were great friends from the time we were both 5 years old. My family, particularly my mother, thought the world of him and treated him like another son. We did a lot of things together. Double dated often. I remember being with him when he bought his first car, a model A Ford. We got it off the back of a used car lot for $50...then began to take it apart, not keeping track of anything. I eventually towed him from LB to Wilmington by rope to a guy that helped us put it back together. I have lost a true friend. He was a great man with a big heart. I am deeply saddened. John Young.

Phil walked the beat on the Pike in the early 60s at the same time I worked there. He was fun to work with and had a great sense of humor. Even though I only saw him about twice a year ( with that cigar in his mouth..) I'll miss him. Rest in peace my Brother. Bernard (Frenchy ) Frydman. LBPD Retired.

Officer Phil Perez was the first L. B. Police Officer to pull me over for a violation of a burnt out taillight when I was in High School. When I showed him my license he recognized by last name and asked me if I was Craine's little sister. I said yes, he said my brother and him were friends and he couldn't give me a ticket. I thanked him and told him that was a very nice thing to do. I had seen him several times at occasions and he was one of the nicest men I knew. He will really be missed by his family and the department and friends who were fortunate to know him. He was truly a wonderful, caring person. RIP Officer Perez Jo Ann Craine Hamand Haroulakis
