Philip M. Purcel
| Phil passed away peacefully in his sleep on Monday December 16, 2024 in Cresskill, New Jersey. |
| Born to Walter and Arlene Purcel in Jersey City on February 27, 1951, Phil grew up spending his |
| youth in Palisades Park, N.J. After graduating from Palisades Park High School in 1970, Phil |
| went on to work in the Transportation Industry until his retirement in 2018. |
| Phil was admired and loved by his nephews Jason and Nicholas, as well as his brother |
| Charlie. He was a warm and generous brother, and colleague, who never hesitated to offer his |
| help to someone in need, and always had a kind word or thought for those whose life he touched. |
| His quiet unassuming personality was both shared and welcomed by friends and acquaintances |
| alike. His interests included Professional and Collegiate Sports, as well as World History & Politics. |
| He will be missed and thought of with much love, and it is our true hope that he is now resting |
| peacefully along with his mother and father, as well as many close family and friends at Madonna |
| Mausoleum in Fort Lee, New Jersey. |
| While not always in our presence he was, and remains, always in our hearts. |
