I had the pleasure to work next to Phil. He was a die hard Celtics fan and was a good person. He was a very nice person to be around with. Gentle and cool...

So long my friend.

Be blessed...

Phil, you were the first "good morning" I received coming in the door followed up by a quick chat about just about anything . . . you will be dearly missed, my friend! You were deeply cared about by your entire PSD family and the office will never quite be the same. Rest in peace, sweet Phil.

My heart was saddened when I learned of Phil's passing. He was a great guy who was just beginning to warm up to me because I too loved sports. He will truly be missed in the PSD building. Rest in Peace!

I was in the Navy stationed in Newport in the early 90s and Phil worked for me, he was definitely a unique individual and a fun guy to be around. Over the years we continued to stay in touch, talking Sox, Pats and about his beloved Redskins. It was truly a shock to hear of his passing. My condolences to friends and family members. RIP good buddy.
