From that time on Phil became a good friend and an extremely helpful co-worker.And although we almost never carried on a conversation on the boat, I saw him and his wife riding the ferry to Staten Island where we all lived. During the work day we had, over the years, many conversations which started on a business note and wound up personal, discussing family, etc.

Phil, you will be greatly missed in tne business world and immensely so at home.

May God bless you and welcome you to his house.

Until we meet again,

Frank Petito

Phil was one of those people that when you looked at him you knew what a kind and gentle person he was. His demeanor was one of "peace."

I remember telling my husband that his look reminded me of Joe Torre, the Yankee's manager.

Phil's smile and kind manner will truly be missed. He is definitely one of a kind.

Phil was a decent, kind, patient, helpful and honorable man. I feel as though I can't say enough good things about him. Phil always made you feel comfortable coming to him with a question or problem.

He spoke often about his wife, kids and grandchildren. He was very proud of his two granddaughters. I think it will be a very long time before I meet another person like Phil.

He is sorely missed here at Marsh!!

My best memory of Phil was a couple of years ago, at the wedding of another co-worker, Michael Hannan. It was about his relationship with his wife, whom I just met that day. I have never seen a couple married that long and still have a look of love like they did that day. They just adored each other so much. I had a conversation with her that day as well. I remember her telling me how proud she was of him...how he got his master's degree after he retired from the force. How hard that was for him to do. How he got a managerial position at Johnson and Higgins, etc. I will never forget the look in her eyes when she was saying all that. I don't ever want to forget Phil Calcagno. And I doubt that I will.
