I am so sorry for your loss. Phil was so easy going, sweet and fun. I haven’t seen him since the 80’s but thinking of him puts a smile on my face. My friend and I were just reminiscing about the fun times we had growing up in Spring Glen and Phil’s name came up. I remember my brother and I would go visit Phil when he worked at Thom Mcan shoe store at “The Plaza” It was probably his first job. Sad to hear of his passing. Love to his family and friends.
So sorry to hear of Phil’s passing! We hung out back in the 80’s, in the Glen. He was always a good guy to be around. Genuine friend to the core. Might deepest sympathies to the entire family. A good man has gone to a better place, leaving his survivors to understand the kiss.
My deepest condolences go out to Phil’s wife, family and friends. Although I was only introduced to Phil recently by his lifelong friend Mark, I was fortunate to have shared Thanksgiving dinner with him and his family a mere 6-weeks ago. Throughout dinner, dessert and hanging-out, I heard many amusing (and a few peculiar) stories from “back-in-the-day” which he recalled in vivid detail. We shared a commonality of some landmark restaurants/bars in the Massachusetts town where I live, that he coincidentally had lived some years ago. Sorrowful to hear of his passing, but thankful to have met him. Strength, love and prayers to all those missing him.
Our condolences to Phil’s family and friends…Enjoyed all his visits to us while going thru school with our son Mark..
Phil you will be missed. I’ve had the pleasure of being a coworker. Such a great human being and how often can one say that. My prayers to his wife and family. Rest my friend

So sorry to Phil’s wife and family. Phil was one of the nicest and most caring people we have ever come across here, it was a pleasure getting to know him over the years. We will miss him.
I was shocked to hear about Phil. My deepest sympathy to your family. I remember him being the nicest kid in the neighborhood and was everyone’s friend. Sharon Pask
Phil and I were friends for over 30 years. We shared a lot of laughs and good times as we worked together at The Plaza and worked out at the gym. He had a big heart and was a kind and generous person. My sympathy to his wife and family. He will be missed by many.
