Phillip and I were class mates at St.Mary's, we graduated in 1960.There were many points in time when I considered Phillip to be my best friend.We rode our scooters together,went to dances at the high school,we even got our first car about the same time,but time went on.I lost contact with Phillip over the years and always regretted not keeping in touch with him now it is too late.I try to keep this lesson in my mind everyday and I will continue to try to reach out to old friends before it is too late. Rest in peace my friend Jerry LeMire
