My brother of 60 years and business partner of 30 years. We had multiple relationships intertwined in the many hours we spent together daily but they all ended in "brother." We had a great time growing up - Memorial field, football, baseball, basketball, and wiffle ball with the neighbors; a kid couldn't ask for more. Phil was a caring, generous, fun-loving person who loved family and friends and always had your back. He rode the highway of life and now rides the highway to heaven. To those in the way watch out!!! We all remember how he drove! We will miss him immensely. Rest in Peace, Love Frank

So sorry to hear this. Coach Phil taught me the game of baseball back during the days of Little League. I remember how much I enjoyed playing for him, and how easy going he was and how comfortable he made me during a time of adolescence when no one felt comfortable with anything. My prayers are with your family, and you guys are in the Jones' family's thoughts.

I came to know the Valenziano family through Frank (jr.). I recall envying Frank for his older brothers as I did not have. My memories are of Carl always studying and being so sure that he was going to be a Doctor. Phil was around more. Two years older than Frank and I. I remember envying him his girl friend. Phil was a “good guy” even then. Memories of camping with Phil and Frank through CYO programs as well as learning to shoot a bow and arrow. To this day I remember Phil’s patience and focus. The Valenziano family was a big part of my life through those teenage years and Phil was there. Unfortunately, we lost touch, much to my loss, but these memories are imprinted in me. “Life gives us brief moments with another...but sometimes in those brief moment we get memories that last a life time...” - Author Unknown

Valenziano Family, We've had the honor and privilege of knowing little Phil Valenziano for nearly six years. He is a man of great character and a lifelong friend. Last year, as little Phil was directing Governor Branstad's Inauguration, Big Phil's beaming smile is something we will never forget. You could tell how proud he was of not just little Phil, but his entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time, but never forget that Big Phil will always being watching over you.
