My Dearest Phil (Feo)
Thank you for the wonderful
46 years we shared. Every lyric in the song "Through the Years" depicts our life together. I will always remember when we danced to this song when Joanna dedicated it to us at her wedding. Although physically you cannot not be with us, we know that spiritually you will always be here watching over us. We promise to continue with our family reunions and traditions, and to honor your memory, we promise to love and care for one another. Daddy, you will be greatly missed, but will forever be in my heart.
All my love,
Carole (Fatso)

Dearest Joanna,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I will sure miss seeing him at your family gatherings. I always admired the love and respect that you and your family had for your father. I also remember the loving and protective father he was when he took us to the airport on our vacations. What I knew of him was a gentle and quiet man that was
always there for his family, and how proud he was of his grandchildren. Our deepest condolences to you and your family, you are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that he is with God. God Bless You.
Love always,
your friends,
Natalie and Vito Bini

Dear Phil,
I remember your telling of your big train ride to get ready to come to the States. You had a new suit, new suitcase, and a bag full of cheese to take to an Aunt in Lima. Discovering that the train was going the wrong way, jumping off, ripping up your suit, dropping all of the cheese was you first ride on the train of your new life. Now many years later, you raised your wonderful family, held and baby sat for all of your grandchildren and led a full life. You took the right train through life. Now you are on the train to heaven. Be sure to tell all of your stories to the angels and especially your Uncle Phil jokes that my family, Kevin, Gregory and Victor cherish. We miss you trememdously.
Your Sister-inlaw, Pegeen

Daddy,
When reflecting on what to say, I realize that words alone cannot fully express what you have meant and continue to mean to me. As my hero, champion, role model and best friend, you were invincible in my eyes … so in many respects, your passing appears surreal. I have been searching for the meaning of all of this without an answer … but must submit to God’s plan, protection and guidance.
As the rock, foundation and servant leader of our family, your physical absence leaves a void that cannot be filled - but your legacy will live forever. Through your example, you have taught me integrity, honesty, family values, dedication, discipline, perseverance, fairness and the ability to get things done while championing for the underdog and those in need. Your life has been truly successful – by the positive impact and how many people are better off because of your life.
Daddy, I miss you and will forever love you.
Gary

Fidelito :
Querido hermano me parece mentira estar escribiendo estas lineas, sinceras y triste a la vez.No quiero aceptar tu partida porque jamas se apartara de mi tu presencia,tu don de gente,tu afecto que generosamente nos dabas a manos llenas,tu voz tranquila,serena,tu sonrisa de hombre bueno,me parece verte llegar a mi casa,cuyas puertas siempre estuvieron abiertas para ti y me decias: "Hola Compay" y me estrechabas en tus brazos como un verdadero hermano.Igualmente Hilda llora porque no le diras Hola Comay...
Te has ido,pero jamas se borrara de nuestros corazones tu presencia, que desde ninos compartiamos la vida y aunque el tiempo pasaba nuestro amor filial siempre fue igual. Te quisimos ,te querremos siempre, ya que tu representaste al hombre bueno y sencillo con esa humildad que todos te admiramos.
A mis hijas que hoy lloran tu partida, les ensene a quererte con el mismo afecto que yo te tenia.Todos tus sobrinos que ya son mayores te respetaron como el tio querido.
Hermano Querido!!!
No te digo adios, porque se que algun dia nos encontraremos en el cielo y nos estrecharemos con el abrazo de siempre. Te quiero Fidelito .... Desansa en paz !!!

Dear Victor:
When I read of Philip's death I was reminded of many pleasant hours talking with you and him at Broadway. I also remember his purchase of the North Haledon house. I am certain that you all will miss him. He was, like you, a real gentleman. My condolences to his widow and to you. Please give my best to Pegeen. Sincerely, ED

Phil, thank you for welcoming me into your family when I married your daughter. Some of the things I appreciated the most about you were seeing your warm smile when we went to your house, listening to your wonderful stories, receiving your always sound advice and seeing the incredible joy when you held your grandchildren. We will all miss your kindness and quiet strength. I am happy that you are no longer suffering and I am sure you will always be watching over your entire family to guide us on our continued path. Love, Kevin.

Uncle Phil,
I will always remember sitting around the kitchen table with you and the family and all of the wonderful stories you had to share. Your commentary and "wit" will be missed as I remember how many times you could make everyone laugh and smile. The angels in heaven now have someone to make them smile, but just remember you will always be my #1 Uncle.---with all my love, your little boy, Kevin

To My Dearest Friend Joanna who I have known and has been a sister to me for 30 years now. I am deeply saddened by the loss of your father.I know how much you loved and admired him, as he was a good father to all of you. He had always made me feel part of the family.I have very fond memories of your father while growing up. He always took the time to bring Joanna and I to the airport so early in the morning when going on vacation. He always made himself available to Joanna whenever she needed him. He was always there and will continue to be in our hearts.
He will be sadly missed.
You are continually in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,Maria Giammmichele Zeug

Maritza Mendizabal posted a condolence
"Uncle Philip" I admired you so much. You were my inspiration... an incredible husband to Carol and father to Jimmy, Gary and Joannita. The best brother to my husband Manuel. You gave your all to your family with grace and sacrifice. You built a beautiful house from scratch--every room has your signature on it, beautiful views from every window so that your children and grandchildren will enjoy what you built with so much love, light, laughter and music. As a businessman you were a giant, crossing continents to build bridges of understanding between the United States and South America. Dear Phil, you will always be in my heart, it was my honor to be your sister-in-law. God Bless you and keep you in the palm of his hand. Love,
Auntie Maritza

My thoughts on with you on this day that the Lord chose to return His son home to Heaven. It is never easy on us who are left behind, but he no longer has to experience pain and suffering. He was such a kind and wonderful man and you can have comfort in knowing that he is looking down on all of you with love in his heart and a smile on his face.

I met Mr. M in 1993 when I became friends with Joanna. He was the kindest man I've ever met. His sense of humor was entertaining and his way of making one feel a part of the family was amazing. I am truly blessed to have known him. My love, thoughts & prayers go to his family. He was an inspiration to all of us.
