It's a very sad day for me to have now read about Phil's passing. Your Dad had a special twinkle in his eye and always had great jokes and stories! Both of your parents were wonderful friends to both Herb and myself and I have thought about both of them often in recent years even though I couldn't personally visit with them. I will cherish the times we shared, both happy and sad. My heartfelt sympathy to all of the members of the Feltman "clan" !!!
