We're very sorry to learn of Phil's passing.
We used to have many, many heated arguments in Park & Rec baseball. Later, I insisted my son play on Phil's team for I knew he would get the best coaching in the city. He did!
Later, I coached against Phil and his sons. James and Lee had such talent and good coaching we could never win. Still had some good arguments though. Haven't seen Phil in a few years but I've missed him. Still will.
I believe he's just moved up to a higher league. Probably already has his team organized. He was and still is a winner.
Bud, David, Gina & Scott

To Mrs. Martinez, my good friend Lee, and Brother James my deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you. As a long life friend of the family, since I was a kid, I have always enjoyed the many conversations and times that I had with Mr. Martinez. He always had words of encouragement to offer and drove you to be the best person you could be no matter what the challenge or problem. That is what I will remember the most about him.
To Phillip, Goodbye for now and God bless!

To the Martinez family: as a long time family friend, I am sorry to hear about the passing of Phillip (Mr. Martinez as I addressed him). He was truly a gentleman that I deeply respected and appreciated for what he taught me about athletics and life.
He taught me not only the core skills in baseball but also taught me to believe in myself and to never give up on my dreams. He did this simply by believing in me and caring about me.
Mr. Martinez always cared about us kids more than anything and worried about himself second. This tells a lot about his character and I will always be grateful to have known him.
Love,
Randy Seeliger
