Philly
Another sleepless night. I don't think I can do this.I've always been able to make you better. My heart won't let my head rest. I miss you every second of the day. I'm worried for Diane. I want her pain to go away but I know that's an impossibility. So many thoughts......I love
and miss you always.

Hey bud,

I can't even remember what day it was, but it was 1980 when we first met at Broome Street when we bonded. I slept on your couch more than i did in my little studio in Brooklyn then and how we talked all night, every night about....everything. Lord i will miss you.

I MISS YOU SO MUCH,THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WORDS TO TELL YOU. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN AT THE RESTURANT, GOING OUT OR BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER, GETTING SO CLOSE, PLANNING OUR TRIP TO NY SO U COULD SHOW ME YOUR TOWN.TALKING EVERYDAY ON THE PHONE. I LOVE YOU, AND MISS YOU, AND I WILL SEE U SOON... HEAVEN HELP US WHEN GET TOGETHER..SO GLAD I WAS THERE TO SEE YOU AND TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH YOU MENT LUVU

I only wish I could turn back time and tell you how honored I was to know you, You always treated me like one of the guys and you always had a big smile for me. It meant so much to me! Little brothers and sisters need to be treated as equals by the older children in the circle of family and friends. I learned to drive in the 55 Chevy you sold Richie and was my all time favorite Car.

Hey pal, i miss you from afar. Understandably you didn't make the trip back up here this summer as you said you would. I was looking forward to breaking bread with you again as we used to when you lived up here. I still can't believe you put ketchup on the meatballs that i made in Broome St. Bar. i think you ate about 15 of them. Anyway, i really miss you Phil. Till we meet again.

Ron and did not know Phil very well, but whenever we crossed paths, I could not help noticing how wonderful of a brother he was to you and your family. We are so happy that you were able to spend these last years together. May he rest in peace. We are thinking of you and sharing your sorrow.

I have so many cherished memories of Phil and the times we spent together, it is perhaps the only mechanism by which we who are left on earth carry on absent someone we loved so much - no one can steal those memories from us. Philly was simply a great, caring, generous guy, and his memory will buoy me forever.

There are those very rare family relationships where friendship transcends the famial connection - this was certainly indicative of my realtionship with Philly. There are too many common denominators to list. A part of me has left this earth with Philly, and there are no words to asuage our collective anguish in his untimely and far-too-early passing. I love you, Cuz, and will miss you.

I met Phil around 1963, either in Cha-Cha's or Columbus Park, I didn't grow up on Mullbery St.but once I got to know Phil it was like i grew up there. For the next 40 some years ,We would run into each other.Sugar, and I have fond memories when We met at Cha's. Phil always liked when Me and the Guys would sing the oldies, nostalgic memories to be cherished.

Dear Phil, where do I begin...so very many memories going back to our childhood. There has never been a time when you were not a part of my life. I'm having a difficult time accepting this. For as long as I live so will you live too as you will always be alive in my heart and my mind. I will NEVER forget you. You knew me better than anyone else on this earth. I'll always love you. Lucy.

From the first time I met Phil we were brought together by the love of our dogs. I knew in an instant anyone who could show such kindness to an animal would be an incredible human being. I can't walk past his home without shedding a tear and saying a prayer that God has him in a good place with loved ones and his beloved Nicky ( his Maltese ( canine boy ) WE miss you Phil....

I think of you everyday..You are in my heart forever...I love you...

Anyone having pictures of phil and would like to post on his memorial, send pictures to Diane21@tampabay.rr.com.and I will post them for you.

My dearest Phil, I'll miss you always, you were my rock, you were my strength, you believed in me. Thank you for all the love. Because of you I worked with Fed-Ex for 30 yrs. May you rest in peace. Until we meet again. God Bless, Love MudgieRose

I'll NEVER forgot you and all the Great memories of all of us growing up together, but I will try to forget the pain at the end, your now in the safest and strongest hands of GOD in his perfect world and I feel somehow better to know your with grandpa, grandma Lynn and even Dusty and Duke- We will meet again, I'm counting on it- I Love You Always... Please always watch over us Xoxo

The day my brother passed away, was the day part of me died with him.
There is not a day that goes by I don't think about him.I miss him.
I miss him so much sometimes I think it's a dream.
I know that you're in a better place and you're no longer suffering but I just wish you were still here.

Phil

can't believe you're gone. I will always need you on so many levels. Wait for me. We'll be together someday. I will think of you each day with a smile and a tear. Take care of Lynn ,Bobby, and Nicky. Till we meet again.

I miss you....I wanted years :(

I know we will see each other again in Heaven but until then my heart will never be whole again.

"I LOVE YOU MY SWEET BROTHER"
