My deepest sympathies to the Summa Family for the loss of Phil, he was truly the kindest person. I met Phil about 20-years ago when I was a young Banker just starting out. His firm kept him very busy, but he always made time to speak to me and make that personal connection. I eventually moved onto another bank, but through the years I would see Phil at various events around town or drop-in on him to say hello and we simply picked up from where we left off, like two old friends. He was certainly dedicated to his work, but it was his family he was the most proud to talk about. I am so sorry for your loss and I know he is missed.

So very sorry to hear about Mr. Summa´s passing!
What a great, funny person! Always had such a warm smile and positive energy about him!
Will always remember how he would come into Mr. Lassiter´s classroom just to tell a joke! I didn´t learn as much as I should´ve in his Chemistry class because I was too busy gawking at his handsome face!. [[just like the girl in the " Raiders of the Lost Ark" movie that had -Love You- written on her eyelids]] Such a warm person!! God bless your family!! God Bless!

The news of Phil's passing breaks my heart. He was an inspiration to lawyers and a friend to everyone he met. HIs faith, his pursuit of excellence in his profession, and his love for family was a model. I pray that God would comfort the Summa family, trusting that Phil's absence here means his presence in heaven.

I extend my deepest condolences to the entire Summa family. Phil was a smart, funny, and generous man. I never had a chance to meet him in person but he was a trusted colleague and friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Phil's Family,
The McCann family was saddened to read about Phil. We lived near Phil in Country Club, I was a fellow member of the patent bar, and our daughter Beth got her start in the legal profession working for Phil. Out thoughts and prayers are with the Summa family.
