It was only recently that I learned of Phil's death. I am sorry. We went through boot camp together. I remember him as the Catholic chaplain's assistant, a man well liked with a positive attitude and unconquerable spirit. I wish things could have ended differently. Fair winds and following seas, rest your oar Marine, til Valhalla.

Dear Donna and Children. We are so sorry about your loss. If only we knew how he felt and could have helped him. This shouldn't have happened. We appreciated having him at Safety Lane. To us he was a young man and an asset to the company. May God welcome him with open arms. DON AND BEV OREN;

Tim Maresch "Hoover" Donna, you know how I feel about Philly. I miss both of you dearly. Strangely, I was thinking of him Thursday, wondering how you all are. You may know Lucy and I suffered a great loss recently and we'd be honored to talk to you when you're ready. It won't take away the pain, but somehow it helps. Our condolences to you and your family.
