Phil was a very nice man. My father, who turned 91 last week knew him from his high school days in the late 1930's. You see my dad with Phil and son Andrew at a card show signing in the late 1980's. Dad greatly enjoyed the visit with Phil. A real class act and will be missed by Chicagoans, though few really remember him.

In the 80's I went on a writing frenzy to all the players from pre-1930 and Walt Drop and Phil Cavaretta were both very graciuous signers through the mail. They will be missed!

My Dad went to High School with Phil(Lane Tech in Chicago)..I have a picture of him on the school baseball team..."you wait to long, and then it is to late"...
