Philip P. Mancini
October 11, 1963 ~ November 11, 2016
Scarborough - Philip Paul Mancini, 53, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, November 11, 2016. Born October 11, 1963 in Rochester, PA, to Filippo and Liberata (DeSantis) Mancini, Phil was raised in Aliquippa, PA. He graduated from Quigley Catholic High School (1981), Catholic University of America (1985) and Duquesne University School of Law (1988). Phil married and moved to Scarborough in 1988. After passing the Maine State Bar, he practiced law as a trial litigator for 28 years, the last 16 years as a partner at Drummond Drummond, LLP in Portland, ME. He was a devoted attorney who treated his clients with empathy and compassion. Phil served on the Board of Governors of the Maine Trial Lawyers Association and was a member of the American Association of Justice. He was a proud Eagle Scout, former member of the Knights of Columbus and 2-time president of the Rotary Club of Scarborough. Those who knew Phil will remember how he greeted everyone with the biggest smile, a firm handshake, and a genuine interest in his or her life. He could be found watching every Steelers football game with his Terrible Towel in hand, more involved in the game than the commentators. He could be found every August at the annual Jimmy Buffett concert wearing a Hawaiian shirt and some rendition of a tropical hat. However, Phil spent the majority of his time thinking about his family and friends, and he did everything in his power to better their days. Phil was predeceased by his parents, his sister JoannAntonis, and his brother-in-law John S. Kern. He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Colleen (Pendergast); his three loving children, Jennifer, Ryan, and Maura; and his loving sisters, Marie Kern and Vi Dornick and her husband Rege. He is also survived by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws, and extended familywhom he adored. Phil was blessed with many dear friends and colleagues, and he treasured each and every one of them. Visiting Hours will be held on Friday, November 18 from 4-7PM at the Conroy-Tully Walker South Portland Chapel, 1024 Broadway, South Portland. Prayers will be recited at the Funeral Home on Saturday, November 19 at 9:15AM followed by a 10AM Mass of Christian Burial at St. Maximilian Kolbe, 150 Black Point Road, Scarborough.

Deepest sympathy to Phil’s family. Phil was a family friend and colleague, and will be greatly missed.
– Alison Wholey Briggs
I learned today of Phil’s passing. It was a shock. I offer my best wishes and condolences to his wife and three children. I will hug each of my children a little longer tonight in his memory. Putting aside his remarkable career as a trial lawyer, his legacy is his family and in particular his humanity. Every time I saw him he was always interested in what I was doing and always asked about my family. I did not know him well enough to call him a close friend but the shock I feel right now is surely an indication of just how positive and empathetic he was to everyone. .Rest in peace.I wish I could have gotten away from my “daily life” to know you a little better.Scott Lynch

I knew Phil from my work experience while at Olympia Sports. A finer man with a smile and laugh that would always make you think why are there not more people like this? Condolences to the family and his legal associates. RIP my friend!

Please accept my heartfelt and deepest sympathy to Philip’s wife, Colleen, and his children Jennifer, Ryan and Maura My thoughts and prayers are with you all and with my dear life- long friends Marie, Vi and Rege. I will always remember the many outings Philip, his sister Joann, my son Todd and I enjoyed when they were little boys. They were 11 months apart and had a lot of fun exploring many things on the adventures we shared. I remember their how big their eyes got on our trip to the Pittsburgh zoo. They couldn’t believe the many ferocious animals surrounding us. 🙂 Joann cherished the week Philip spent with her when she was so ill, just another example of his kindness. The Mancini’s are a very close and wonderful family! May you all stay close and available to GOD!!! He is by your side always.
– Judi Rubino
Phil, I suppose, was a rival – in our encounters we were always lawyers representing opposing parties, but he was also a friend: a straight-shooter, a great sense of humor, occasionally bringing up odd things in cases in which we had engaged years earlier, and a great hearty laugh.My deep sympathy to his family.
– Jim Hunt
I worked with Phil for the past 2 years and for a short while he was my supervisor. He had great faith in my skills and great understanding. One of the last conversations I had with him was laughing about buying clothes discounted. He always had a smile and we laughed often and is sorely missed.
– Aaron Joy
Thank you Wahrer Family – What wonderful years those were!

Colleen, It was with enormous sadness that I heard of Phil’s passing. I remember so fondly our days in college, when we were all young, invincible, and thought we’d live forever. Phil was a great friend, and I know he was a great husband and father as well. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest condolences. — Kevin

Colleen, Jenn, Maura and Ryan – Having been a great friend of Phil’s for over 20 years I know you 4 have always been his everything! No matter what was going on whether great times or not the best he was always so thankful to each of you. He would always rave on what his children were doing esctatic when they were coming home for the weekend and reviled in the times of going to NYC, down to FLA to watch Ryan play spring ball or to Bentley to see Maura. Colleen was always on the forefront of his mind as well even if it was just headed out for a Friday night cocktail on the ocean he would smile ear to ear just telling about it. No all things aren’t always perfect but the love he had for each of you was pretty close. The friendship I built with Phil over 20 years was indeed the strongest friendship I ever had. We want to be there for all of you no matter what we can do. We will stay and touch. May God heal your hearts and allow you to remember the great times.Love the Poutre’s

Although I never met Phillip, I know he must have been a warm and interesting person who loved his family and friends. I know he was very special as his sister, Marie, is a dear and lovoing neighbor who is heart broken by the loss of her wonderful brother.
– Carol TeVault
I met Phil when I was studying for the bar. He worked upstairs in the building where I worked. He was always supportive and friendly with good advice and a cheery smile. I would run into him from time to time downtown and he would always say hi and chat for a bit. My condolences to his family. He will be missed.
