    May you rest in peace, Uncle Phil!!! I will always think of you as you are in this picture – happy and toasting others. Love, Connie and Rick

    Oh, I will never forget when we visited Uncle Phil when he was in the Air Force. His clothes were wrinkled, and I asked (as a 12 year old will) “Who irons your clothes?” Without a beat, he said, “Nobody!” The whole family laughed. My husband has always said he had the most beautiful hair. Love you, Uncle and will miss you

    It’s such a sad time for everyone who had the pleasure to meet Mr Hanahan.
    I’ve worked for him for 18 years and I’m sure he will always be dearly missed, as already is.
    May God bless and comfort his family in this challenging time.

    Phil was a great, loving and kind person. I have been blessed to have known Phil, Carole, and Berna. My family and clinic staff always looked forward to seeing Phil, Carole, and Berna. My mother thought the world of Phil and his mother. Now she will have the joy of seeing him again, in Heaven. It is rare for me to have seen and known such a loving and dedicated couple like Phil and Carole Maddin. I find it difficult to accept that his smile and loving presence will no longer grace me. I am sure that Phil is now with his Lord and Master. His brave earthly medical struggles are over. He now embraces his eternal peace. My prayers will continue with him, Carole and his family.
