Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel at the sudden loss of Phil! Our hearts go out to family in your time of sorrow.I am sure Lawrence Welk, and his orchestra were at the Gates of Heaven to recruit Phil! What beautiful accordion music he will provide for the Christmas concert in Heaven! Phil always expressed his love for traditional Christmas music\u2026\u201cSilent Night,\u201d \u201cHark the Herald Angels\u201d and \u201cAway in the Manger\u201d are sure to be on the program!I will always think of Phil during Oktoberfest when I hear the \u201cBeer Barrel Polka.\u201d \u201cAmore\u201d and \u201cSpanish Eyes\u201d are other favorites too. Oh, how he could make that \u201csqueeze box\u201d sing! Phil was a good man, always complimentary, and he was so much fun to be around. When the Lord calls our loved one\u2019s home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange! Thanks for the good times, Phil! Strumming friendJune Buddelmeyer
My name is Emma Avalone Rooney. My mother Rose Mancuso Avalone was a first cousin of Philip father Anthony. My mother\u2019s mother Anna sister of Mary Ragno Philip\u2019s Grandmother. When I read Philip\u2019s obituary I thought I would have loved to have known him in our lifetime. However, distance separates families. My Uncle Joe Ragno, Anthony\u2019s brother, moved to NJ near my parents . We visited Johnstown many times when I was a child, my mother loved Josephine. My deepest condolences to your family. Philip had a wonderful life with a large loving family. I\u2019m very happy for his fulfill life .
Amazing uncle and great memories. Always looked forward to when Uncle Phillip came to Johnstown. He would "drive" the four of us kids around the school lot in the bed of his pickup truck-the four of us just giggling and rolling around like crazy. His laugh was infectious and his accomplishments many! Sending loving thoughts to you all!
I remember meeting Uncle Phillip in Pennsylvania for a family event. Donnie always spoke of him so adoringly & he lived up to the image I had of him from the many stories shared. He welcomed me warmly and made me feel included right away. His smile was contagious and people were drawn to his gregarious personality. We will miss you, Uncle Phillip!
We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ the staff at Conner & Koch Life Celebration Funeral Home
