To you all, Phil's friends. He was special to me, we played music together, built model airplanes together, worked Woodland Dairy together, broke storm windows together, (not on purpose), just happened. We were a special bunch on 88th ave. My love to all the McCombs and good old friends. Jim Harding.

My deepest sympathy to you all - I had the very great pleasure of getting to know Phil through the Woodward's Alberta Cup Ski Finals and have managed to be able to see him each summer here in Jasper on the annual Shriner Band visits to our Canada Day Parade. He was a very special person and I will miss our little visits!

Good bye to our Prince Charming! We all loved Phil - he was a real gentleman and we are happy to have had the pleasure of his company at family functions. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

Our sincerest condolences to you and Phil's family, Auntie Teri. While we weren't fortunate enough to meet Phil, we heard many wonderful things about him and his music. Our thoughts are with you.
