I’m sorry to hear of Phil’s passing. In college, he was a very sweet guy and all these comments show he didn’t change a bit. He indeed has had many losses in life that affected him greatly, but he was a sincere, thoughtful man. I’m sorry we had lost touch.

Oh Phil. You are in a better place now. You were so kind and compassionate for all of your clients. I shared your sadness in the untimely death of your wife and also the heartbreak of the horrible death of your brother. Sympathy snd prayers to the loves of your life, your daughters. There is a special place in heaven for you.

I do believe Phil was the nicest person I ever met. I felt like a family member, going into the store to check on him during his trying times with a very sick beloved wife and having those beautiful girls that he loved so much. He always had the answers and help for my children when I needed it. He cried when I told him my father past away. He beamed when I would update him on how my kids were doing. He is at peace now and reunited with family members that he loved and missed. I know he will be watching over his girls, until they meet again.

Phil was a dear, sweet man. Have known him since he was at Kurland's. Followed him to Acme Savon Pharmacy in Pennsville, HE and Jack and their staff were the reasons we switched to Acme. Missed Jack when he retired and have missed Phil since he transferred. I did have the pleasure of finally speaking with him a few months ago via messenger and he shared that he was having trouble with his legs again...Really sad to hear that he passed. Our family would never be able to repay him for his kindness and compassion. Phil had many struggles in his short life, Rest in Peace, you were a blessing to everyone. Prayers and condolences to his daughters and other surviving family members. Lynn and Doc Briening

So sad to hear this. As a nurse in home care, I frequently had to call on him for my patients and he was always so caring and made sure they got what they needed. He would help me in any way he could. My condolences to his family.

Phil was a very nice man. When my kids were little he was always a big help in getting my kids meds to me no matter what hurdle there was. He always went above and beyond to help everyone in our community. I saw him briefly at the hospital a few years ago and he remembered me and my struggles as a single Mom. I will always remember Phil. He was one of the good ones. Rest in peace Phil.

I dated Phil after the death of his wife. I even met Mr. and Mrs. Spinella at Phil’s annual Christmas party. They invited me in with open arms. I was the one who was working night shift at the hospital who had to break the news to him that his broth, Jack had died. It was one of the hardest thing I ever had to do. Diana and Olivia, I treated the both of you just like my own children who you always had a good time with swimming in your pool. I saw your dad’s obituary shortly after he passed. I cried for days. Your dad was a great pharmacist. He was extremely generous. Please know that I am still local and you can call me at anytime (856-656-6929). I will always be here for the two of you. I also have some photos that you might want to have. I am so very sorry you lost both parents so early in your lives. I will continue to pray for the loss of your mom and dad. I loved your dad very much. I am also sorry that your childhood home is up for sale.

Girls your father talked proudly of both of you and your dear Mom please accept my condolences I pray your grieving time is brief and you both remember the love your parents have for you.....they’re right there when you need them prayers for all
