Cuz ,people like you come along once in a lifetime and I was so proud to have
you as my cousin, I will never forget all of the laughter we shared as young men
before going are separate ways to raise our families.We never lost contact over
the years and I ,am eternally grateful to you for finding the women that I have spent the last 51 years with.
When I look up in the sky at night I,am sure you will replace the brightest
star in the heavens with your laughter.
I love you !!!!!

Linda,
I am so sorry to hear about Philsey. He was one of my first friends @ NGC and one of the first to guide me and help me. I will not be able to make the viewing, as I live 8 hours away now, but wanted you to know I was made aware and I am thinking about you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I know Phil is in a better place. I would love to hear from you.
Linda

Linda,
I am so sorry for you and your family for the loss of Phil. I found Phil through Stoney Creek Seniors and knew him a short three years. He made me laugh a lot and I never seen him without a smile. When he found out I had myeloma cancer he would always take me by the hands and say he would pray for me. The last Sunday before he died I saw him and I am sure he was in pain he still took me by the hand and said he would pray for me. If there is a Tuckers Pub in heaven his favorite place to go when he went to Wildwood New Jersey with the seniors I am sure he is toasting all of us with a beer in hand. I will surely miss him with his smile, laughter and the soft touch of his hands holding mine and him saying to me " I LOVE YOU AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOU"
