We were deeply saddened to hear of Phil's death. Although we started off as "customers" we quickly became friends. Phil's love of life and his family were always evident, never more so than in his last valiant fight to live. Our deepest sympathies to his family – and to Skip whose special friendship with Phil since childhood which continued throughout their lives is a treasure not many have had.

God bless my cousin, Phil, and may his soul rest in peace. He was an outstanding husband and father. He generously served our country --in the U. S. Army-- in the early '60s. He was a tremendous success in business, as well as in giving his time and talent to his parish. We have always been proud of him, and have loved him and his family dearly.
