“Mary Kay, Scott, Mia & brother Kevin, I was saddened to hear of Phil’s passing! Phil hired me at Kodak in NYC in 1977 & it was my honor to work for & with him over my 20 year career there. Phil was my first true mentor and we had many successes & a lot of fun together over the years. I’d run through the proverbial wall for him! There are many fond memories for me & all of my Kodak colleagues who had the pleasure of knowing PJ to draw upon. My deepest condolences & may he rest in peace!”
