Cousin Phillip was one of my favorite people. He had a gentle and kind spirit which he shared with all who came into contact with him. He'll be greatly missed by all those countless people whose lives he touched in the 74 years of his life on this earth.
Good bye, Phillip. I'll see you later.

David (Tilotta) Davis

Phil, what a great and loving friend you have been the last 53 years. You will be missed by all who knew you. I will miss seeing and visiting with you at the Pru's Retiree's Christmas Party each December.  Until we meet again for a game of bowling, may you rest in peace.  God Bless You and Your Family!

I was working at Prudential when Phil came aboard.  We immediately became good friends and I realized what a great guy and co-worker he was. We shared a lot of good time together after work as well.  I can't believe he is gone but I know he will be missed and heaven will be a little better off.

Had the privelege of working with him at Prudential back in the late 60s.  He was always 
a Gentleman .  I remember the all those keypunch
cards he had to run thru and sometimes  we would have to run twice or three times,  for additional information..  He Never complained, and always had that smile... Rest in Peace, Phil,

Phillip, what a great friend/relative and overall human being you were. The Danna's will tearfully miss you, although now you can play 18 with my Dad, Joe S. Danna.
Rest in Peace until we meet again ........

God Bless the entire Tilotta Family

Condolences to Phil's family.  What a great friend who was fun to be with.  On a recent trip to Houston, we were with Phil on two occasions. We will miss him but we will always have fond memories to cherish.  Sorry that we were unable to attend his funeral.  However, our prayers and thoughts are with you.  God bless.

My Frined Phil Tilotta was a "Gentleman's Gentleman."  I was lucky enough to meet Phil when I began bowling again a few years ago at Palace Lanes. 

From the very first time I met him, about four years ago, he always had a kind word, a joke, a smile - in the words of the great Poet Rudyard Kipling, Phil could "Talk with crowds and not lose his virtue, or walk with Kings, nor lose the common touch."

I very very fortunate that I got to know Phil. I saw at least five times a week for approximately the last four years.  I wish I had known him better.  He had a Wonderful Spirit, a gentle manner and a kind soil.

My sincere sympathies to Phil's Family, many Friends and all of those at Palace Lanes, his colleagues and countless Bowler, who, just like me, will miss this Wonderful Man.

Rest In Peace. You will be remembered by your many kindnesses to so many Friends, Family and countless others.

Sincerely,

Steve Wisch

Phil - I cannot believe that you are gone.   I am so grateful that we have gotten to visit just about every Thursday at Sacred Heart Men's Club for the past 2-3 years.   We visited the Thursday before you left this earth and talked about your 74th birthday coming up in March.   You were one of the finest persons ever and everyone will miss you.

My deepest sympathy and prayers to your sister, Annette & family, and to your children and grandchildren.

May you rest in peace with your family in Heaven!

Love, 

Margaret Mustachio Mika

Going to miss seeing your smiling face behind the desk at Palace! You will be missed greatly! Condolences to his family, may he RIP.

Phil, Palace Lanes will never be the same without you. Rest in Peace...

Phil was a true gentleman.  It is hard to say just how many years at the Palace Lanes I have seen his smiling face, his warm hello, and his most gracious way of asking me how my family was.  He adored my father, of blessed memory, and embraced my sons.  A kind and sweet man, Phil touched our hearts as a good friend.  My condolences to all of his family at this most difficult time.
Love,
Lenny Dubin and family

Phil, your smile will forever live on. I am truly blessed to have known you.  RIP

What a sweet and pleasant cousin, always 'up'.
He will be missed!

Will miss seeing Phil on Thursday nights at the Palace. He was just a great guy, so sweet and friendly. You felt like you knew him from the get-go. Peace to you and your family.

I have known Phil since I was a child.  I saw him every Thursday night and I will miss his smile and great sense of humor.  You will be missed dearly. Rest in Peace.

I am sitting here thinking about all the great times we had at golf and our Friday lunches in Bellaire. Like Sherry said we aren't a conventional family and it was always pleasure to get to all our family gatherings. We will surely miss you and your gentle ways of connecting with the family in so many ways.  I know from speaking with my sons (Brian Jeff Alan) they all have expressed how much they will miss you. Phil you are now in a better place and at peace.  Finally to all family and friend MAY GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY. Thanks Again Phil for all the wonderful MEMORIES.

One of the best baseball coaches at Braeburn Little League I ever had......rest in peach, Coach Phil.

My mom and I were privileged to be seated at Phil's table at the recent Houston Bowling Hall of Fame banquet.  He and my mom were both inducted in 1991 and I enjoyed hearing the stories from the "good old days."  I always heard wonderful things about him from my parents and I was very sad when I heard that he had passed.  My prayers go out to his family.

I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR GOLF CONVERSATIONS AND BASEBALL STORIES, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF THE LUNCHES AT PATRENELLA ON WEDNESDAY.WE ALL WILL MISS YOU.

We will miss your kind heart Phil. Condolences to the family.

Love,
Bobby and Diana Moore
