Philip loved his family and friends very much. Losing him is the hardest thing I’ve ever faced. I truly believe he is watching over all of us happily from heaven, and would want us to remember the good times we’ve shared. Remember him as the great son, the great friend, the great magician, and most of all the great man that he became…

 
 

 

I miss my brother, he was great.  I will always love him and think of him everyday...

Philip touched so many lives in a lasting way. He lives on in all of us who knew him.

I've gotta say... it's simply incredible to see all the lives that my crazy-cool cousin has touched.  The legacy of Phil will live on forever, which I am thrilled to see. 

Phil buddy... I miss you pal! The next time I go into the city, you make sure you come with me (like we were supposed to do a long time ago -- sorry we never did...)

 i love ya...always..

   April 4 marks the day I lost the best nephew you could ask for.  I think about him every day and think about his mother – my sister Renee – and how strong she has been.  I don’t know if I could be that strong, but she has to be there for Jen and Gary and all the rest of her family.  Philip was a kid way above his years.  After the Christmas of ‘98 when he and I had a chance to catch up, I told my brother Bruce this kid gets it and boy did he get it.  I want to thank the Philip’s friends for this site and to the people posting messages here too - bless you all…

 The years since Philip’s death have been hard for me.  Not a day goes bye that I don’t think about him.  He is and always will be my ‘bestest’ friend in the whole world.  He was also a wonderful godfather – almost like a real father - to Stephen.  They were like peas in a pod - always together.  Phil used to take Stephen to Lake George to pick up girls.  If Stephen looked Phil followed.  He always got the cute girl’s number!

I still find myself crying myself to sleep and sometimes even while driving. I work near the crash site I pass by site often and give him roses, or sit and talk for a while.  I often wish that he would come walking around the tree and say hi, but years later I’m still there waiting.  Sometimes I’m there so long I’m late for work, but that time is well spent. 

 Phil, I miss you more than words could ever express.  Please take good care of my child that came to you on April 3rd 2003.  I know my child will always be safe in your hands.  Please always be my protector.  I will never forget you…

Love always,

Robyn

Phil was my angel without wings.  He was like a son to me, and he taught my son Tim to trust again.  Phil was the big brother Tim never had - one year Phil kept Tim’s birthday going for a whole month!  He had a way of bringing people together - of putting peoples psyche back intact.  It amazes me how many people he touched in his short life. 

The last time I saw him was only a week before he passed away - he was so happy.  He told me that Aimee made him "complete".  I'm saddened that they both were killed but it’s a consolation that if Phil had to leave us that he at least got to stay with the one person who made him feel “complete".  Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him, and thank God that I got to have him here on earth if only just for a little while.  He will forever be in my heart…

Phil was the coolest person I’ve ever met.  He was like the older brother I never had.  Years have passed and there is not a day that goes by without me thinking about him.  Nobody can fill the place in my heart and my life that he did. 

IN LOVING MEMORY OF PHIL - You’re still in all of our hearts…

  Phil was a great friend to all of us.  He was my daughter’s godfather and a great uncle.  I wish our game partner was here!   REST IN PEACE  - We love you and miss you…

  Philip was like the brother I never had.  He always knew how to make the best of a bad situation.  He is missed more then words can say.  We had so many laughs and a lot of memories that I am grateful for having.  And none of that would’ve been possible if I hadn’t met Lisa – I’m one of her ‘kids’ like Phil, and Robyn, Erin, Daniel, and Timmy are my family.  I’ve never had friends that treated me better then my own - and Phil was a part of our family too.  He will be missed and always in my thoughts…
