On behalf of the Friedler Family, we would like to celebrate the wonderful life of Philip Friedler. Philip passed away early Sunday, August 15, 2021. His wish is that we celebrate his loving wife Mary and their four children, Liz, Matt, Brian, and Gerard and his amazing grandchildren Elloise, Owen, Ethan, Abigail, Ava Rose, Elliot, and Joseph. Phil would also send his love to all of his friends and extended family. Phil joins in heaven his father Pappa Munty and mother Mary, his brother Robert, and favorite nephew Dylan.
For the few people in the Hudson Valley and Vernon, NJ that did not know Philly, he was unconditionally kind and a full-of-life soul with a story for every situation. Phil lived an eclectic professional life working with Axa Financial, as the Director of Security at Action Park(Mountain Creek), and as an adhoc pretzel/furniture salesman at Pennings Orchard. He loved Warwick, camping with his family, schmoozing with the local folks, and offering ice cream at Pennings. Philly loved to tell stories which were a true mixture of fact and fiction, but 100% entertaining. Phil loved life and it loved him back!
We will gather to acknowledge his life on Wednesday, August 18th from 4:00 to 8:00 pm at Lazear-Smith and Vander Plaat Memorial Home at 17 Oakland Ave, Warwick NY. A Mass will be held at 10:00 am on August 19 at St. Stephen’s Roman Catholic Church located at 75 Sanfordville Rd, Warwick NY. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Foundation.
