To Phil's family - My sadness is real & my condolences to you all. He only left because he had to go. To Phil: You stood up for me when I was a victim of bullying; you shared amazing music, you sent me gifts yet expected nothing back but knowing each one filled me with joy. Our meeting never happened due to illnesses but will when I pass through that door. Then, I can finally hear your voice and feel that hug I already know would be one of the best. Til then, us 'wimmen' will keep your memory alive...you will always be on my mind and in my heart, my huckleberry friend. With great love, sandi

I never got to meet Phil. We became friends through our membership of a group of Marmalade (a 60's band) in 2008. There is a tight group of 4 of us that became good friends through the group. We chatted often about anything and everything. Phil was a very intelligent man with wide ranging interests and was never boring. I was privileged to be "one of his people" - he watched over us and gave us advice whether we wanted it or not! It was an honor to know him and I miss him immensely. RIP my treasured friend and my condolences to Phils family.
