If there is one person whom I could be certain of to be in heaven its Phil. He was my dads angel here on earth and I'm sure they are both looking over us all now. It was an honor to have been able to witness Phil's strength, wisdom, and bravery over the years. His smile and love for Jackie is something that will never ever be forgotten. Jackie- we love you and the boys and lots of thoughts and prayers being sent your way.

Dear Jackie and family,

We all knew Phil to be strong, funny, full of stories, so full of life, and fun to be around. He always had a positive attitude. I was so happy and impressed the way he regained his strength years ago. He always brightened my day whenever he came to my office for a treatment. I have such fond memories. I hope you remember all these fine traits and hold them close to heart.

God Bless,

When you hear of the term "Brothers in Blue" that was Phil Brodeur. Phil brought to the job what many had forgotten.... Phil was compassionate, caring, and a really great cop. Phil always had our backs and not one to back down from adversity, no matter the risk to his own life. I miss that endless smile. Love you Bro ,and will see you again one day!
