Everyone in the class of 1960 knew who Phillip Parise was. I don't think there was a student in our class who didn't like Phillip. He was very smart as a student and he always spoke with kindness. I included a smiley face here because I never remember seeing him without a smile on his face. Compared to the rest of us, Phil was much smaller, but every bit of him was goodness. I'm sorry he was only here for 45 years, we lost a great big human being. We all love you Phillip, Sleep with our Lord.
