Elaine..I pray God's comfort and peace for your family.

Philip (the son) and I became friends a few years ago and my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. You know I'm always here for you.. Love ya

Our thoughts and prayers are with Elaine and the extended family.  Philip was such a great guy and a pleasure to be around.  RIP Sir.

Elaine, first please be assured of our deepest sympathy. Phil was a friend of many years at OLV. He leaves  an emptiness in our heart that only he could fill. We will miss him, too.

Elaine, I am so distressed about this news. I am thinking about you and praying for you and Matt. I love you and will see you soon. Sally

Phil was my first manager in the IRS Regional Office in Atlanta in 1980.  He was a great friend and mentor.  Prayers for Elaine and his family.

Elaine, Sally called me yesterday with this terrible news!  I'm so sorry!  I will call you later today!  I love you.

Mr. Phil was a special man in the early  years of my family's life. He gave us security by employment with the IRS. He also set a powerful example of family and Catholic parish life through his leadership at Our Lady of the Valley Church. He never knew it, but his impact in my life and my children's lives did not go without gratitude and tremendous respect. Praying for peace and comfort for his beautiful wife and precious family.

Prayers for you and the family Elaine and Matt. Love to you both.

Phil was a gentleman.  He was a good neighbor and a kind friend.  We admired him and will miss him. Joan and Allan Morris

Phillip was a kind gentleman and sweet neighbor.  My thoughts and prayers are with Elaine and Matt.

Philip was well loved. We first met him & his wife Carolyn at OLV in the late '80's. After Carolyn's death he joined me in a morning Bible study group. My last hug from him was at a 7am Mass a few weeks ago. We will miss him.  He told us about Elaine's illness and was worried about her. Elaine we are sorry for your loss. Mathew -- I hope we get to keep seeing your smile-- so sorry. I've not known the rest of his family but did meet a few -- our heart goes out to you. I know that you will keep him in your hearts.  Our prayers & love go to all of you.

We are so sorry for your loss and will be thinking of you.

I first met Philip roughly 16 years ago along with his wife Elaine. I myself had a love for fitness as well and that is how our friendship began. We all worked out at Sportsplex in Hoover for many years together. Philip was a wonderful person, very smart, great conversationalist and could be funny as well.  He will be missed by many.

Elaine and family, our hearts go out to you...Philip was a fine man, we know he will be greatly missed.  God bless you all, Love, Cindy and Tommy

Uncle Philip was a man of great integrity. He was a good friend...I will miss him dearly.
