THanks to everyone for their support and good wishes. We wanted to let all know that the information on this site regarding funeral arrangements is incorrect. Dad's wake is Thursday (not Wed) and the funeral is Friday. The correction should be made later today. Thank you again for your love and support.

I struck the lottery when Uncle Phil and Aunt Agnes were chosen to be my God Parents. They are two people that I have always looked up to for many reasons. Even though most of my adult years were spent in Ohio, I remember Uncle Phil as a kind, gentle and genuine man. My thoughts go out to the entire family. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the service. I am sure Uncle Phil will be remembered in a very special way. Odds are that you will be able to find a piano somewhere. Please know that the Ohio Grogan contingent will most certainly be there in spirit.
