To all of the Tedesco Family, it has been a long time since I have crossed paths with Phil and I’m so sorry to learn of of his
passing. I first met Phil – and Paul – through my cousin Arkle Costanzo – back in the 1960s. In the 1970s I worked at Wesbanco as a summer job and Phil worked there as well and we had so much fun playing on the
softball team. Phil was always the same; a really good man and I always remembered him as “Pittsburgh Phil”.
Wendy and family,
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Wendy,
Kathy and I sorry to hear of your loss. Even Mr. Street Sweeper would be sad.
Wendy,Family and Paul:Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I know you all made Phil’s difficult journey over the last few months much more bearable with your love and support. May the memories bring you comfort and peace.
Love;
Rita, Steve and Nora
You have left this world for a better place and I am sure that Herb and Laura were there to greet you. The baby boy. You need no prayers to guide your way God has chosen you. May The Blessed Lord Bless your family left behind that one day we will all meet again in the splendor of Heaven. You will be missed by all your family and friends.
