Happy Birthday Philip!....Miss You!

Love
Jody

To the Family and Friends of Philip,

Please except my deepest condolences. It is unnatural to lose one so young in death. Although I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Philip, I wanted to share some peaceful thoughts that helped me when I lost my mom to the enemy, death. I've found comfort in knowing that "there is going to be a resurrection" (Acts 24:15) I hope that you'll find comfort in knowing that you can see your loved one again during a time when "death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4)

Please don't be sad Philip is smiling while being in the Lord's hands,with Love,Francine,Marshall, and Myself.

I am just floored with this news! I have still not come to grips with it. I'll never forget when Philip and I attended a spyro-gyra in NYC for a weekend...we ended up in Harlem. Philip was adamant about opening up a restaurant even when he worked at a Pizza shop in highschool. We would all stop by late at night to get pizza. I even remember in 7th or 8th grade when Philip would not let me sit next to him on the school bus (1976-ish) I'm so sorry Jay, Dennis, Peter, and Mr. and Mrs Aviles along with Philips wife and child.

I am devastated to hear this news. Michael & Palmer I am sorry I never got to meet you. Philip and I go WAY back to the Port St. Lucie days. Mr. and Mrs. Aviles my condolences at the loss of Philip. I posted a picture of us when his parents were adding on an addition in the back...You will be forever missed....

I send my deepest condolences to Philip's family. I had not been in touch with him in many years but I have great memories from our high school years. We had so many good times back when life was free and easy. In particular, speaking of the band Rush; I remember when the album Moving Pictures was released I purchased it. Philip and I listened to the album for the first time in his bedroom. We were blown away by this incredible recording and it is a treasured memory. I also remember going to the Hollywood Sportatorium together to see Rush on the Moving Pictures Tour where there was a riot outside the venue and the entire crowd including us were tear gassed!  But the show ended up being awesome, worth all the suffering. We lost in each other in the mayhem but found each other at the end of the night. I remember the tear gas really had a bad affect on Philip!  In fact, the opening act was a band called RIOT! We did enjoy music together more than anything. I have so many other memories through those years. He also moved to Connecticut and lived with me way back in 1985. I am so happy to see that he had a family, son, and was a successful chef. He always worked very hard and I had heard that he was doing very well. I even remember his first cooking job at Biondos in Port St. Lucie! We used to pick him up after work to go out. I always enjoyed my time talking with his Mother and Father back in those days. God Bless Philip his family, and friends at this very difficult time.

Dear Michael, Palmer, Kelly and Chatham words cannot even begin to describe your loss. I hope time will heal your pain and know that we send you all our love. Margo , Franco , Roxy and Maxi

Philip was my client for many years but I considered him a friend.  My heart goes out to his family. He will be missed very much.

Michael and Palmer,
The memories you have will last a lifetime! The pain will subside, but never disappear. You will always have the love and support of family and friends, and the assurance that we will all get through this together.
From Denise, Allison, Zac and myself, please know we are at the ready 24/7. May Phil rest in peace!

I have been in the mortgage business for 16 years and in a customer base exceeding 2000, Phil stands out as truly one of my favorite individuals I’ve ever dealt with and that was on many occasions and also in between transactions just to catch up at times. Similar to several of his fellow restaurateurs who I also have dealt with, the conversations tended to be longer and rarely end up talking business until the end if at all. Just a classy group of people and I enjoyed Phil’s company immensely be it in person picking up his paperwork or on the phone. I attended the services yesterday not because the man did business with me but rather, I simply genuinely liked Phil a great deal. My sincerest condolences to Michael and Palmer and the rest of Phil’s family. RIP Phil…

When I think of Phil, what I remember most is the fierce loyalty he had to those he loved. I was lucky enough to be one of those people. If Phil loved you, that was the end of the story and nothing was going to change that. He loved to have fun and he loved to joke around, but he was also serios and passionate about his food. Nothing was added to the Masa menu until it was the best dish that it could be. I feel very blessed to have been part of his life and will miss him greatly. My love to Michael, Palmer, the Aviles and Ballo families, Mo, Mark, Steve and everyone else who loves him.

Paul, the children, and I send our deepest sympathies to Michael, Palmer and the Aviles and Ballo families. Philip, Michael and Palmer were great neighbors for many years and always were the best hall mates and fellow parents on our busy condo floor with 9 children, many of whom knew each other since they were babies. Palmer your Daddy adored you. Michael, we send your our love and friendship, always. Respectfully, The Currier Family

Philip was a good friend of mine. Unfortunately for him & loved ones his journey in our lives ended. Sad moments are above us. We will always remember you.
Sincerest Condolences to Alives Family.

Dear Micheal and Palmer I'm sending my love and heartfelt sympathy at this tragic time. The times I spent in your home and restaurant are sweet memories because of the kindness you and Philip showed to me..a stranger from "New Josey". Just like your Mom Philip will be right there in your heart and nothing can ever take that way. God will get you through this so lean on Him and your wonderful family and friends. God Bless and comfort you.

To my loving cousin in heaven may he have eternal rest. There is no wound that God cannot heal. There are no tears that God cannot wipe away. I know that God has heard our prayers and has seen our tears and I have faith that he will heal our family. I remain faithful that God will make our pain bearable. Faithful that God will keep us together when we are falling apart. Praying for comfort. Your cousin Yolanda.

Philip was my employer but mainly he was a dear friend...I have been his bookkeeper for many years...We worked together closely running his restaurants behind the scene...Along with his partner Mohamad, he used to tell me I was one of the most important people to his company. That was one of the special things about Philip...he made everyone feel important....

He was a devoted family man very much in love with his wife Michael and his son Palmer...they were his everything...his reason for being...

I will miss his almost daily voice on the phone....following his direction...having a caring friend.

Let us all bring Michael & Palmer into our embrace as he would have wanted.

With much love,
Jody

Our deepest sympathy to Michael, Palmer and the entire Aviles Family' In memory of a life well lived, may each day bring comfort as you reminisce over special times and moments that brought such happiness. Phillip was indeed very special to all of us who knew and loved him, and he will be sadly missed. May He Rest in Peace
Andy & Cathy Evlog (Evlogiadis)

Phillip, my friend, my confidant, "Brother Phil"... No words could ever describe our loss, but most importantly, no words could ever describe the joy and thanks I feel for having him in my life. I love you buddy.

Dearest Michael,
I didn't have the chance to properly meet Philip, but I have always known from Kelly what an amazing human being he was. You are an exceptional woman and with Palmer's love, you will find the strength to come to terms with this terrible loss. Philip will always be with you and he will look after you and Palmer at any moment of your life.
He rest in peace
with love Benedetta and family
