elevated umz7k Obituary
elevated umz7k It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our dear husband, father, brother and friend. Phil was born on March 27, 1961 as the rambunctious middle child of two brothers, Daniel and Mark. He met the love of his life, Antonietta, at a high school dance. The two married on September 27, 1986 and have spent a total of 44 wonderful years together, 38 of them being married. His memory is carried on by his wife Antonietta, his son, Paul, his daughter, Bianca, his daughter-in-law, Christina, and his son-in-law, Mark. He was a man of immense humour and wisdom, cherishing every moment spent with his loved ones. He will be deeply missed and will be forever loved and remembered.
elevated umz7k May he rest in eternal peace.
Dearest Di Luca family,
There are no words…..Please accept our deepest condolences. The world has lost a great man. Our hearts ache for all of you and hope that in time, with the love you have for Phil, your broken hearts will allow you to mend and remember Phil with happy memories. May GOD and the love of your friends and family surround you and help you through this great time of sadness.
RIP Phil. We will miss you.
My sincere condolences to Phil’s family.Always enjoyed working with Phil at Honda.
Rest in peace my friend.
My sincere condolences to the entire Diluca family. Phil was a bright light at Honda , always up for good laugh and a Leafs discussion. Very sorry for your loss.
My deepest condolences.
I am a former colleague of Phil’s during his time at Kyndryl.
I was devastated to learn of his passing today from another former colleague.
I appreciated every minute I spent with Phil. He was kind, intelligent, conscientious, and talked of his family lovingly often during our many overnight upgrades.
We jabbed each other regularly about our respective hockey teams (Habs fan here). Even after we both left Kyndryl, we would call each other and talk hockey and about life in general.
Again, my deepest condolences, and please know that many of us thought extremely highly of Phil.
Antonietta, Bianca and Paul,
We are shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Phil. Please accept our deepest condolences and know you and your family are in our thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.
May Phil Rest in Peace
Uncle Phil, the world has lost such a special person and we will never be the same. Thank you for so many great memories together at our cottage, Water World, and many others.
As I grew up and had children of my own, I often confided in you for guidance and advice on raising children, since you and Zia did such an exceptional job with your own. I aspire to be the type of parent you were and instill the same values and work ethic upon my own children.
I will cherish all of our memories and am so grateful to have had you in my life. You will never be forgotten, and will live in our memories and hearts for the rest of our days. We miss you so much already. It’s far too quiet with you.
I’ve known Phil for 20 years now, ever since I met one of my best friends, Bianca. The shock of his sudden passing has been devastating, and my heart is broken for my dear friends, the DiLucas.
I’ve always known Phil to be a devoted father, a man who cherished his wife, and just funny guy with a big personality. I’ll miss the sarcastic banter we shared, his quirks when it came to watching Leafs games, and his palpable energy.
I see so much of Phil in Paul and Bianca, and while his loss is profoundly felt, I know his legacy will live on through his children.
My sincere condolences to the Diluca family. Phil was a good friend to me and will be truly missed. I cherish all the time we spent together. Rest in peace Phil.
Deepest condolences to the family , our sympathies are with you at this time .
My sincere condolences to the Diluca family.
I had the privilege of working with Phil during my time at Honda, and I treasure the memories and experiences we shared. His kindness, sense of humor, expertise made a lasting impact on me, and I’ll always appreciate the time we spent together.
May the love and support of family, friends, and fond memories bring you comfort and peace. May Phil rest in peace, and may his legacy live on in our hearts.
Words cannot express our feeling of the loss of our friend Phil. Our hearts are broken. I lost my chess friend & he will be missed. Thoughts & prayers are with the family.
My deepest sympathies to Phil’s family. As one of the Bahamas Boys I will always remember Phil’s kindness and sense of humour. Rest In Peace Phil
This breaks my heart and my thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. Phil was a bright light at Honda and always enjoyed our chats on work, family and most of all sports. You are going to be missed my friend. Rest in Peace.
My deepest sympathies to Phil’s family
My deepest condolences to Paul, Bianca, Antonietta and the entire Di Luca family. We were shocked and devastated to hear the news about Phil’s passing and he will be incredibly missed. Phil always had a smile on his face, loved to join in on the fun of our friend group and always offered words of wisdom.
My heart is broken and I am so sorry for your loss. May Phil rest in eternal peace
Such a shock to hear about Phil’s sudden passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Antonette, Paul and Bianca. May God give you all strength in this time of sorrow. There are no words i can say to lessen your pain. May he rest in peace.
Uncle Phil …. Words cannot begin to describe how greatly you will be missed. You have always been supportive of me and all my endeavours. You have always made me laugh and you have always been a staple person in my upbringing. I will never forget being babysat with you and Zia, the fun times at the cottage and all the times I would heckle you for leaf tickets before Paul and Bianca grew up 🙂 Your laugh will forever remain with all of us. I can hear it everyday. The love you have for your beautiful wife and brilliant children will never go away. The world suffered a massive loss the day you passed into God. It is for certain that heaven has gained one the brightest and biggest angels it has ever seen. You are never forgotten as you will forever remain in all our hearts.
Our sincerest condolences to the Di Luca family. Antonietta, our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Antonietta, Paul & Bianca: So heart broken to hear about your loss – my heart is with you all at this very difficult time. RIP Phil!

I’ve worked with Phil at Honda since 2007 when I first started there. He was a great friend with a big personality. I really enjoyed our daily chats on football, the Leafs and family. He was a very kind and generous man who always had your back. I last got together with Phil just two months ago and he was the same old Phil. I can’t believe that he’s gone.
My sincere condolences go out to the entire family. Phil spoke very highly of you.
I will cherish the memories. Rest in peace Phil.
My sincere condolences from Johnny, Sandrine, Flora and Luca to you Antonietta, Paul and Bianca it was a beautiful ceremony. I’m glad i had the chance to watch it online.
Lord, we know that You are the God who comforts us. I pray that You provide Antonietta, Paul and Bianca a time of comfort and rest for those whose hearts are hurting right now. Hold them in Your embrace, Father. Wrap them in Your love and remind them that though they may have lost someone dear, they are not alone, for You are with them. Bring to them the hope of Your unfailing love and turn their sadness into gladness. Soothe their heartache as they lean on You for comfort and guidance. I pray that their grief heals smoothly, for You will be with them every step of the way. May they hold on to You for strength, hope, and sustenance. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”
🙏❤️
The DiLuca Family,
The passing of Phil certainly sent shock waves to all who had the pleasure of being acquainted. I have known his Wife Antonietta for years and she has never mentioned her Husband name without that air of Love , Contentment and Care.
While the Family has lost someone so dear. Heaven has gained another Angel.
He will be sadly Missed by those who have known him personally and those who have heard about him whether through his Son, Daughter or his Beautiful Wife.
His Soul is at peace now.
