I knew Phil from the eagles. A very nice gentleman who always had a smile on his face and never a harsh word was said. He definately saw the glass as "half full rather than half empty". He will for sure be missed by many. My sympathy goes out to his family and his dear friend Alberta. Keep the memories you had with him alive as it will find you comfort in the days ahead. RIP Phil.
