“A good name is better than all the riches.” T. Resha (Phil's Father)
"Philip’s physical presence will be missed terribly. But we are sure that his spirit will be with us for a very long time, reminding us of the important things in life, that is God, family and friends."
"We have no doubt that our brother Philip is in God’s arms now. He is with his parents and brother and loved ones. He is among the blessed and holy ones.
Philip has lived the Beatitudes in his life. He was poor in spirit, meek, righteous, merciful, pure in heart, and peacemaker. For that he will inherit heaven, be comforted, enriched, obtain mercy, shall see God and will be called son (child) of God."
May he rest in peace. Amen

"I do not know the man, and after reading the (his) eulogy, I feel as though he is waiting for me in heaven to ask me "... so what did you think of those kind words of Abouna (Fr. Sharbel)? He is too kind..." I feel his humbleness!
God Bless all of you and your parish in your tremendous loss.

I was shocked to hear about Uncle Phil's death. I did get to see him last October when I was in Minneapolis having dinner one night. He came and sat at my table and had a lot of interesting things to say. It was good to see him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I had the good fortune to visit with
"Uncle" Phil last month at a party.
Though it had been several years since we had seen each other, he greeted me with that warm smile and firm hand shake.
I feel blessed to have had those few minutes with him.
My prayers and thoughts are with each of you at this time.

If you knew him, you loved him. Our family has so many great memories of Uncle Phil, we retold his stories while he lived and know we will re-tell them for years to come. Brad and I cannot believe that he had a single fault, God bless him for being such a great model for our family. We will miss you soooooooooo much Uncle, we love you, pray for us!

Uncle Phil was an icon to our family. He was a humble man with a tremendous value system , faith and good nature. Thanks for the memories and all you did to shape our lives. You lived your life and "made it count". Rest well Uncle Phil.

I was saddened to learn of Phil's death. Being a good friend of Diane's for close to 40 years, he always treated me like part of his family. When I think of him, I'll always see a smiling face and an easy going unassuming manner. He was a very special man, one of the "good guys". He's got a wonderful legacy in his close, caring family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Uncle Phil has always been a man to be admired. His simple ways and stedfast devotion showed up in all aspects of his life. His willingness to give and listen always furthered the admiration that he earned throughout his life. I am feel lucky to have him as my Uncle and will honor him by trying to live by his example. I, like many others will miss his gentle smile of assurance and the integrity which he lived by....
