When Phil was 11 we went to Mickey D's  in Aurora for lunch. I suppose he was worried I didn't have enough money so he asked if we should go. I assured him it was fine and he said he was really hungry. Well you can only imagine my surprise when I watched ths skinny kid of 11 devour three Big Mac's , a large fry and a super sized drink! I swore then and there he was the champ! He could out eat any grown-up I knew and still go outside and play some catch. I miss you lil bro. See you soon.

Phil was more than a friend.  He was the best friend a person could ask for.  He was always caring about the people around him, when you were his friend you were his family!!! Steve and I were his family!  One of the most unique people I have ever had the pleasure to know...God truely blessed us putting Phil in our lives. You don't meet too many special people in your life, he was truely one of them. He loved BJ  so much, he took such good care of her and loved her with every thing he was!!  But anyone that knew him knew that when he loved you he loved you real big and powerful!  A real loss for the rest of the world that he is gone.  I miss him real bad sometimes, so bad that it hurts!!  Steve has felt a hugh loss in his life too...he doesn't talk about Phil because the hurt was so bad I think.  Love you Man, hope to see you again some day.

I met Phil and BJ in the mid 90's.  I loved Phil's sense of humor, and the way he cared about everyone around him. It was a blessing to know him, and he will forever be missed.

I had the pleasure of working around Phil for a couple of years in the mid-late nineties. Phil was an extremely positive person and always had a big smile on his face. He was a cool guy!!!
