Uncle Phil, you will surely be missed by many. You were a brilliant man who was lucky to find his sweetheart, Aunt Maureen, 50 years ago. You had an exciting and adventurous life to be envied by many. You always had fun stories with brilliant pictures to share with us. My best memories were in Nana and Poppy’s house. You would always hold my hand and pick me up. I am grateful that I held your hand, once again, when you made your journey to heaven. May God bless you and may you guide us in the right directions. I love you and will miss you very much. Maureen, Gary, Carli and Tommy
