Philip D’Ercole

Philip D'Ercole was an amazing human being who would do anything for his family. A dedicated father and father-in-law to Philip & Carla, his guidance from his past life experiences was always given to help people navigate the journey through their own life experience! He quit smoking when his only grandson, Philip was born in order to be there to watch him grow up. He and his wife Carmen were instrumental in Philip's upbringing and to this day, his wisdom is still being applied. He loved spending time with his family which was the most important aspect of his life. Whether it was his lengthy long distance phone calls with his brother Paul, or his time spent with his nieces Kristen and Lauren, and nephew Paul, family was always his main focus. He also had a unique habit of making non-family members feel like they were part of his family. Edith Papitto was one of these people and became a close friend over the past 2 years and she brought much joy to his life. He also enjoyed some hobbies such as going to the casino, playing Hi-Li with his son and friends, watching TV, and going out to eat. He also loved going out on his boat which was named after his mother Bernadina. Phil was also a member of the Buckey Brook Coalition on Warwick Pond which fought for the cleanliness of the pond. He made multiple videos for this Coalition to help the cause. He made many friends at the Greenwich Farms home, where he lived for the past year and a half after his wife's death. He will be loved by many and has made an imprint on this world and has touched a broad amount of people throughout his life.
