We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Madison

Teresa and Family - So Sorry for Your Loss

Denise and Teresa, I was so shocked to hear of your Dad's passing. I saw him not long ago at a Saturday evening service at St. Bernard. He was always such a caring person, taking such tender care of your Mom. My parents and I always chatted with them after services. And your Dad and I worked together in the gym kitchen at the annual festival dinners, and later while The St. Bernard Players were doing their dinner shows. We usual sat next to each other during the shows and talked about our individual families. He loved talking about his girls and grandchildren. He will be greatly missed. Katherine (Kathy) Goldade

Phil was my across-the-street neighbor for 35 years, and he was a good neighbor. He would always be out first thing when it snowed to clear the sidewalks along both sides of the street for the entire block. Many times I came home from work on snowy days to find he'd cleared my driveway. And I loved his decorations and the spirit that inspired them. Halloween was my favorite, too. I think his decorations brought trick-or-treaters in from other neighborhoods. There weren't as many after he was unable to decorate anymore. Thanks, Phil. Rest in peace.

Phil was my Mom’s cousin (Mary Lord Hewuse) and such a wonderful man! He was so nice to every person he met. So very sorry for your loss. JoEllen Hewuse Dexter
