I never met Phil but I knew him through his sister and my friend, Sister Jean. I have no doubt that they are celebrating in grand Irish style in heaven these days. Peace to you, his beloved family.

May our thoughts and prayers be the Maher family for your tremendous loss. Phil was held in high regard and respected. We will miss seeing you Dad riding about the Lake in his golf cart. I'd like to think maybe he and Fred are teeing off for a game of golf.
