Philip, familiarly and affectionately known as Scooter, was born in Long Beach, Long Island, NY on November 24, 1955 to Philip Eugene Daley Sr. and Leila Kiser Daley. He married the love of his life of 46 years, Kathleen Liuzzi on November 14, 1976. He worked as a Paramedic for the City of Houston Fire Department for 26 years, where he earned many accolades, including the prestigious Medal of Valor. He shared his vast professional knowledge and experience with aspiring medical field students as an instructor of Advanced Cardiac/Trauma at Houston Community College. Phil was legendary both for his dedication to his career and for his unique sense of humor. His comedic tendency, many charms, honesty and quick-wit kept everyone around him entertained and sharp no matter the setting. He was an amazing cook, nothing making him happier than preparing and sharing meals with the people he loved surrounding him. Phil was an avid bowler, having attended many Fire Fighter tournaments around the world with his firehouse family. He enjoyed golf, billiards, boating and fishing, but most of all he cherished time just spent with those closest to him.
Philip Eugene Daley Jr. is survived by his loving wife, Kathleen, his son Sean and daughter-in-law Brittany, his grandchildren, Boe and Barrett, affectionately called by Phil as his Twinkles, his brothers John and Aksel, and numerous beloved nieces and nephews. Philip is preceded in death by his parents, Philip Sr. and Leila, and his sister, Karen.
The family of Philip Eugene Daley Jr. wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the countless medical professionals, hospice nurses, friends and family that have supported us through this formidable stage of life.
"Remember me with smiles and laughter,
For that's the way I'll remember you all.
If you can only remember me with tears,
Then don't remember me at all."
