Philip was my classmate in elementary school. We graduated together from O.L.S.H. He was the kindest to me of all in my class. Philip was tall and slim with the most wonderful smile, which displayed his chipped front tooth. I last saw Philip just a few years after high school when I was at a bus stop near Franklin Ave. and Gentilly Blvd. He greeted me with his charming smile; we chatted a bit, and he left. Throughout the years, I have treasured the signed school photo he gave me and will always remember him as I knew him, an exceptionally nice guy.
At the time of the shooting, my brother had just left the N.O.P.D. He was in the First District and knew Louis Sirgo and Ed Hosli. This tragedy happened after I graduated high school in 1966, and learned that my classmate Sheila was the daughter of Deputy Superintendant Louis Sirgo.
I’ve read that Sheila has died, and I hope that Philip Jr. is well and has a good life.
