Philip, a unique, very caring, multi-skilled person! I learned to know Philip during his holidays at his parent's place in Vence. He had a very warm personality, a broad interest and a very socializing and entertaining character. Whenever he was in Vence he came to visit us or with Zoe or with George. We talked about lots of things. In any conversation it was obvious how super proud he was of Zoe and how important his family was to him and: of course Food was one of the subjects! His "blackened tuna carpaccio" became a very favorite dish among my friends. At his parent's place are besides all his recipes lots of his other skills visible witnessing the beautiful and precise paintings or the maquette he made from his parent's house in Rochester. Things his father is very proud of and Jan often told me: "Philip never ceases to amaze you"! These and all the presents he brought his parents from his travels to other countries even become more precious now. A beautiful legacy. Wishing you Amy, Zoe, Trommel family, George and friends lots of strength to bear this enormous loss. I hope in time, in stead of bringing a tear reminiscing a great, multi skilled husband, father, son, brother and friend, it will bring a big smile memorizing all the things you did together, all the fun and all the precious and loving times together. And that it brings a great pride that he was part of our lives. In our hearts he will live on forever! My thoughts are with you.

I started at fedex the same week Phil did back in 2000. I was impressed from day one by his kindness, intelligence, and ability to speak so many languages. Phil became a friend over the years, always so proud of Amy and Zoe.
Phil has a unique ability to connect with everyone he met. I found his culture Impressive and was so impressed with his ability to learn new things. A true gentlemen that will be missed.

I enjoyed working with Phil at FedEx. He was the consummate professional and a very sweet, gentle man. I so enjoyed remaining connected with him on social media, watching Zoe grow up and all her of accomplishments. I am so saddened by his loss and think daily of Amy, Zoe and the family. I hope in time the sadness and loss you feel now will be replaced with heartfelt smiles of the many memories of him. Sending you prayers of comfort.

I hired Phil into the world of FedEx Marketing back in September 2000. He had a similar background to mine except that I knew immediately that he was way smarter than I was, so I thought, I need to get him to work there, so I did and was so happy about it! He was just looking for a new home and start in his career and I very much appreciated his honesty and transparency about it. To this day, Phil was one of the brightest persons that I ever had the pleasure to work with, always willing to help, always there to assist, whatever the issue was. What I also quickly found out was that Phil really enjoyed travelling - anywhere, on business travel, he didn't care! He enjoyed working with FedEx Sales and their customers, and it showed in his performance. He and I collaborated on a co-branded communications service called FedEx ASVM, which was the first of its kind at FedEx and the transportation industry, and it was a resounding success, which really pleased him. Phil was always my right hand man, for anything, he was there for our team, other employees and me. When we both left FedEx, we stayed in touch via FB, email and catching up at lunch, and I marveled at how much he loved to talk about Amy and Zoe. I will have the honor of seeing his words in print soon when a college textbook on global marketing that he, others and I were working on becomes available in print. I will certainly smile every time that I read what he wrote as I know how much care he put into his specific chapter. I will miss him very much.

Learned of Phil’s passing this morning with deepest sorrow. He was a good friend and we shared a lot of adventures during college and the years that followed while he lived in Durham. Was particularly touched by the mention of the Alpha Romeo as it played a role in my favorite adventure with Phil - taking it to Florida for Spring Break freshman year. Another college friend, Rob Littlejohn, shared the news and he was a part of that trip as well. Three of us packed into Phil’s beloved Alpha headed for Daytona and then my parent’s home in St. Petersburg. The car never got further than Florence, SC, but we rolled with it and had a lot of memories from that trip between beaches, clubbing, the dog track and Disney World. My parents send their condolences as well. Phil was an endearing friend. Best wishes to Amy and the family.

I also want to share that when I reconnected with Phil after my father passed and I decided to get account on Facebook. Phil called me and we remenisced about our old memories. He told me all about his wife Amy and her job as a Radiology Technician and daughter Zoe. From that point on, I got to read and see all of Phil, Amy and Zoe's posts. He was very proud of Amy's hard work during this Covid-19 epidemic. He was also very proud of his daughter Zoe's cooking, art work, YouTube videos, school work etc. Thank you for sharing. God has gained a wonderful person but I know that Phil will always be watching over his family. He will always be with them. God be with you and bless you all during this time.

I have many wonderful memories of Philip. I remember as a teenager going to his and Marcel's family home on Elmwood Ave by Clover. Phil, Marcel and I went to Eddie Money concert at the Rochester War Memorial. But my most favorite memory was the day that Phil took the 3 of us to the last concert outside concert at Hollender Stadium in Rochester. We had a great time and day watching/listening to The Police, The Fix, and The Flock of Seagulls. After we went to the Princess Restaurant to eat. This restaurant still exists and I live down the road from it. So, every time I drive by it, I remember that awesome day filled with great music. I also had a great time riding in Phil's Alpha Romeo car. One day he went to get gas at the Hess Gas Station on Empire Blvd and the gas stations attendent went to wash his window and Phil got upset and said No, don't, I just washed my car. Please, do not touch my car. Phil loved loved his Alpha Romeo.
