Oh, what can I say? I always was looking forward to my stopover at your house. It was filled with laughter, outstanding food (those shrimps and grits!!!), good Russian vodka, warmth, big hugs and wonderful hospitality. I am happy that I had Phil’s  last hug and shared a last supper with him. RIP Phil. You always will be in my heart.

Ive said many times Phil is my favorite person. I enjoyed the talks we had; the memories he would share over beers at the bar. He was a special soul and had a humor about him some people may not have understood when he was saying things within hearing distance of sensitive ears. 😄 We quickly became friends and he was one of the toughest people Ive met. No matter what happened to him, he moved on and didnt complain about it. Such is life. Thank you Phil. You made a difference.

I am so sorry to hear about Philip.  For many years it has been Larisa and Philip.  And Philip was the perfect husband for Larisa.  A wonderful host, a great cook, authentic, who lived life to the fullest.  He loved his kitties, music, and most importantly, he truly loved his family and Larisa.  May his memory always be a blessing.

We are so very sorry for your loss, Larissa & family. Amy & I have sweet memories of Phillip as he & Larissa welcomed us to their fabulous Chistmas parties. We had great conversations about work, current events, he was witty, kind, & had a great sense of humor. He will be dearly missed and remembered.

I'm so sorry of Philips passing. I was blessed to share many wonderful times with Larisa and Philip and will forever cherish in my heart.

One of funnest times at the beach was with Philip and Larisa.  

So very sorry to hear a Phillip's passing. You both were so fortunate to have each other. He was a great guy and will be missed. You're in our thoughts and prayers! Greg and Bill

Phil always amazed me, he could converse about any topic with anybody. I still remember that he and my dad spent time together discussing something, even though they did not speak the same language  both claimed that they had a good time together. 

He was an amazing chef and his Liver Pate

Was the BEST ever!!!

I always enjoyed his very Dry wit!
