Thanks to all for the kind words about my brother. It's very good to know he is remembered by his classmates.One of you mentioned the tennis team. I remember vividly the way he played. Lots of fire, never an ounce of give-up. Nice to think about those times now.

I was delighted to hear about this month's reunion until I looked through the list and saw all the deceased markers. I knew Phil in Cub Scouts, at Temple, and particularly in senior year homeroom.  What a place to befriend someone.  Even though we hadn't seen each other since then, I occasionally thought about Phil--always as the kind, caring guy he was.  I hate to say "was" about Phil.

I met Phil when we played on the tennis team together.  What a competitor.  We had many a battles on the courts.  He was a great guy. 

Phil was so very nice.  I'm sad to hear of his passing.

The one sad thing about periodic reunions is learning of the passing of old friends. Though I have lost touch with most I nevertheless remember the good times. Phil and I were not only classmates at Mt. Lebanon, but we were classmates at Temple Emanuel as well. Phil was a great guy – a warm-hearted friend to all. I will miss him and remember him today, the first day of Passover with the lighting of a Yahrzeit candle.
