My first memory of Phil was sitting on Grandma and Grandpa's front steps as a little kid at a family gathering and feeling so special because he was taking the time to be totally with me and sincerely interested in me. What a gift he had!

Kitty,
I am sorry I am late in acknowledging Phil’s passing.
I sent a letter to you at the address in Tacoma on Locust Lane and was returned. I knew Phil through my parents- Kay and Ed Ruckwardt when Phil was the Parish priest at St. Peter in Eugene. On October 5 th I was recalling how kind and supportive to my Dad and our family, when my Dad died on October 6 th. - 34 years ago. I was going to send Phil an email but knew he had his battles for years with myeloma. I checked on Goggle and read this beautiful obituary that you wrote. I imagine their souls have connected in Heaven. Through the years I would have contact with Phil.
I lift you up in prayer as you travel through the journey of grief. When I see a mentally ill person on the streets of Portland, I will treat them with special kindness in memory of Phil.

I just received the Central Catholic Summer edition of their magazine, where I sadly saw Phil's name in the "In Memory" section.
Thank you for that very well-written, beautiful account of Phil's life. I was a student at Madeleine when you were both there. Phil was a very good friend of our family and we all adored him. He came over often for dinner at our house on NE 27th. When my dad turned 50, due to a possible "mid-life crisis", he decided he wanted to go skiing for the first time. :) Phil happily volunteered to take him, and so they went. I think my dad may have hurt his back on that trip, but he had a great time with Phil.
I connected with Phil on Facebook a few years back and we had a short chat online. It was very comfortable and like little time had passed. My family & I all remember "Fr. Phil" fondly and send you peace & love as you navigate through life without his physical presence.
Love, Annette (Lauritzon) Navarro

Father Phil was our parish priest at St Peter in Eugene and was instrumental in my decision to join the Church in 1982. He was so approachable and so spiritual. I remember that he was welcoming to me to serve as a lector even before I was confirmed. I remember so many conversations and daily masses. When my husband Grattan was sworn in as Speaker of the Oregon House, it was a given that Father Phil would offer the invocation.
I was sad to see him leave St Peters but so glad for the years he had with Kitty as he continued his ministry in mental health counseling. He was always a wonderful listener.
He was someone who brightened the Iives of all he met. I was blessed to be in that number.

Dear Kitty,
I met Phil only once after a special Mass at St. Leo's, but our visit that afternoon confirmed for me the golden intuitive gift of listening that Phil's presence was to me that afternoon. May you and your families continue to be graced with his presence in unexpected ways.

Like many others, I too was impressed by Phil's attention when speaking one on one. I would occasionally see him at family gatherings (happy or sad), and even though we were only second cousins, he always knew who I was, made a point to chat for a while, as we were both interested in genealogy, and he had a way of listening intently and making you feel like the only person in the room. I'll never forget that warmth that he personified, his stature and beaming smile.

My fondest memories of Phil was of his calming and caring voice. When you talked with Phil, nothing else was happening and he was engaged with you, taking in what you said to give great thought about what he would say in return. His laugh and smile brought you in to make you feel at ease and want you to laugh with him. I remember the marriage of "Phitty and kill" as they were called and heading back to my parents house for the reception. All the kids played a wild game of Twister and Phil took a turn and after losing gave pointers to the older kids on how to win. Thank you Phil for all your kind words to me and my family over the years. You will be greatly missed by this family and everyone who's lives you touched.

Phil was a man of great faith. He and my husband, Bob (Pat) Linkey grew up in the same neighborhood in S.W. Portland and they both attended St. Lawrence Catholic grade school. When Pat and I got married in 1969 Phil officiated at our wedding. I remember Phil as a friendly, outgoing person who cared about others. Pat and I moved to California in 1972 but we tried to keep in touch with Phil over the years and we did get to meet Kitty on one occasion. Although I knew Phil had many health issues I am still having troubling dealing with his passing. However, I take comfort in knowing that Jesus has taken him to his father's house and Phil will celebrate Easter with all the angels and saints in heaven. May he rest in peace.
Judy Linkey (Pat's widow).

Kitty, Maria Luisa and I have such fond memories of Phil. He was always so pleasant to be with, ready to talk whenever we were with him. We know he suffered in dealing with his illnesses, but he never complained to us. While Phil is no longer with us, we still feel his presence and are so very thankful that we knew him. Unfortunately, with the coronavirus we were not able to see him this past year. Maria Luisa has also been bedridden since around November 2020 and this made it difficult for us to arrange to visit him. Lastly, we must thank you Kitty, since we know Phil would not have been able to maintain his strength and joy without your continuous support over these many years.

Always enjoyed my conversations with Phil! We both had common friends that Attended Central Catholic High School and we shared the latest news about them. It was amazing that Phil right to our last conversation a few weeks ago remembered things about them that I had forgotten! Phil was a truly remarkable Man with a wonderful vocation where he helped so many people! He will be remembered! Sally remembers Phil being such a good role model in many ways through his ministry to family and through his long illness with Great Faith! An example of this was encouraging Family members to research the Family History Tree!

Phil (and Kitty) were instrumental in the creation of my family. I called Phil and asked if he would perform our wedding ceremony at Gearhart beach, the stretch of sand that held so many memories. He agreed to do it as long as we were able to meet with him a few times to discuss and work through some pre-marital counseling and details. We had a sweet working meal and he asked those very important questions that build a foundation of married life and parenting.
On the October day that was bathed in sunshine Phil expertly wove important sentiments and values he’d gleaned from our answer and the power of our coastal location into a beautiful wedding ceremony. He was eloquent as always and made the experience special and memorable. I also appreciated his subtle humor and blessings for the new family we were beginning. Thank you Phil. You are loved and appreciated.

What a lovely synopsis of Phil's life ! Even though I knew him mainly through my dear friend Kitty, the few times I interacted with him, he was kind and attentive. Kitty updated me on his progress over the last few years, and Phil sure was a fighter. Not everyone can counter this disease for 20 years plus !!! I spoke to him a few weeks ago, and he sounded vibrant and totally focused on our conversation, so it was a shock when Kitty informed me of his passing............I send you all my love, Kitty !!! May you have memories of better times with Phil to sustain you, and may God give you strength for the next phase of your life, your friend Daniela Wever

Phil's gentle nature and wisdom were a gift to us at PCCA, not only that he started the organization to help counselors share and learn together, but in our consult group time especially.
I had quite a start when I saw this email. He had been quiet about his medical struggles so I did not realize he was so ill. I just a couple of hours ago had referred someone to him, thinking he would be just the right fit for this young man. This makes me wonder what he thought about the word "retirement."
I know he is in God's loving care now and totally freed up from his imperfect earthly body. Thank you, Kitty, for giving us a bigger picture of his life and history.
I was diagnosed with MGUS three years ago (and ANCA Vasculitis), so I will donate something to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. Warmly, Patty Swanson

Thank you for such a great remembrance of Phil and your life with him. He was always ready to chat, discuss or dive deep, whatever someone needed at the time. I am so glad we were able to find that time before the pandemic for you to come share a BBQ with us. Even if there may have been too much teryaki/sodium in the steak and Phil got so flushed! We have loved getting to spend virtual time with you as much as we have this year, and I send you love and strength. I will miss Phil, but know that he is at peace.

Phil, thank you for being a calming presence in my life and many others, you set an example of being an advocate for the underprivileged in our society. You lived your life responding to how Jesus would to all mankind, a lover of the Lord, family, friends and life. Thank you for your example of generosity and love to all. Love, Jan

I was so lucky to have Phil for my big brother . I hoped to have a son first so my girls would have that same opportunity . He was always there for me. He presided at many family weddings,funerals. Baptisms etc. He loved connecting with others . You always had his full attention. He always had a positive attitude and a spirit of hope. He was pro-active and aggressive in finding treatments for his multiple myeloma. ( Thanks God for his persistence that gave us more years with him.) I believe his sprit or presence will be with us. Love you, Phil, and miss you terribly.

So grateful for his never ending presence!
