Tried sending this earlier, but looks like I did something wrong, so here goes again...sincerest condolences to the Rinaldi family. Phil was a very caring and kind fellow TWA employee. He always had a funny Lost and Found customer story to brighten my day. I had the pleasure of working with and knowing him for many years. Coincidentally my husband Frank (who passed in 2008) had the pleasure of working with his son Phil, Jr. at Airborne/DHL. Our families were intertwined for many years. Prayers and thoughts to all who loved him. Joan Pahs Shortall
