Paul and the Silverstein family:

I remember Phil from day camp at Albany Academy where we had many happy times playing all kinds of sports together. There were also many happy times on New Scotland Avenue. He was always a great happy guy.

Whenever I think of Phil or these times I will whisper a little prayer.

Thank you!

I saw the notice of Phil's passing and felt I had to write. I'm sure you will remember me. Phil and I were a couple many years ago. My name is Roberta. We vacationed with you in the Adirondacks one summer and spent quite a bit of time together. I was so shocked to read that he had died. I don't know if he still worked for the County or not; I hadn't seen him in about 7 or 8 years. My sincere

condolances to you and his family.
