OTHERWISE, WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE FUNERAL TO PAY RESPECTS AND GIVE YOU A BIG HUG, SEAN ! YOUR DAD & MY HUSBAND, JACK, GO WAAAAAY BACK = THE UNIVERSITY YEARS AND THE GREAT TIMES THAT JACK SPENT WITH PHIL AND, LETS NOT FORGET THE 'OTHER' PHIL SCHWARTZ (RIP, TOO). I MET PHIL IN 1972, IN MONTREAL, AFTER JACK & I MARRIED. THEN, WE MOVED TO CLEARWATER, FLORIDA. DOWN THE ROAD, WE HAD OUR 3 CHILDREN: JONATHON, SCOTT AND LARA. YOUR DAD, YOUR MOM JIJI (RIP), YOUR SISTER SHANE (RIP) AND YOU WOULD VISIT US IN CLEARWATER AND WE ENJOYED SUCH FUN TIMES TOGETHER. WHEN WE MOVED TO THE SOUTHEAST COAST = FORT LAUDERDALE, WE ALWAYS VISITED YOU IN MIAMI AND PHIL WOULD TAKE US ALL OUT ON HIS BOAT. YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS JOINED US WHEN WE CELEBRATED OUR CHILDREN'S BIRTHDAYS. WE LOVED GOING TO THE HALLOWEEN PARTIES THAT YOUR MOM & DAD HOSTED. WE HAD GREAT TIMES/BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES TOGETHER. AGAIN, SEAN .... SOOOO SORRY FOR YOUR DAD'S PASSING. MAY HIS MEMORY BE A BLESSING. LOVE AND HUGS, RUTH AND JACK BECKER AND FAMILY.

Dear Sean and family,
So sorry to hear of your loss.
Phillip Sassoon was best man at our wedding, and such a wonderful person. He had a great personality, and Albert and I were always glad to be with him.
