Phillip M Scanlan
2020-06-15I've known Phil for approximately 75 years. Five of us from our Arlington neighborhood hung around together and occasionally got into mischief. As we matured, we decided to get together each year at Phil's home in Amelia Island. Phil would arrange everything from breakfast, golf, fishing trips, bowling, beach bocce and of course who could do the most pushups, etc. and then winding down the day at a great restaurant. We had these "Pine Street Gang" outings for about seven years or so until we couldn't continue with them due to health reasons. Phil will be missed, not only becuse he was a great guy, true and caring friend, but also as someone who just got things done in life. He always had a mission to take up, and usually succeeded in completing them.
Goodbye Phil, I will miss you!

Phil and I studied together and helped each other graduate from Northeastern University School of Electrical Engineering Class of 1966. We met again at the Arlington High 50th reunion and Phil invited me down to his place on Amelia Island, once during a hurricane. We had a great time reliving our days at Arlington High and Northeastern. Phil got things done on the Island including a bike path around the entire island. Phil was an author of two books and served as an officer in viet nam during the war. I will never forget you Phil, Larry Melia
tribute by Larry MeliaPhil, Many wonderful years of being your close friend have past and it is a sad time for all of us. From childhood through being grandparents we always stayed close and shared so many precious times together. We were part of the Pine St Gang (Joe Rollins, Salty Mead, Earl Foster, Jack Radochia, Phil Scanlan) and continued to stay together over all these years. I will miss you my friend but my memories of you will never fade. God Bless you and always remember “you did make a difference” for me and anyone you came in contact with. Your Friend Jack Radochia
