Not sure what to say?

At 82, walking up a steep hill here in the Wisconsin Kettle Moraine area (Delafield) a memory of my childhood (a cub scout den my mother hosted) BEST FRIEND Philip came to mind. Then many, like competing with each other in drawing/narrating comic book panels--ala Steve Canyon and etc. I found this Obituary. I am deeply saddened for this loss to the world and his family/friends. His move to Derby would end our nexus. Once, by accident, I found him in Lawrence in the 90's when he was...

I will remember Philip during high school and coming to parties at our house. When you got Philip and Bill Showers together you never knew what would happen. Great minds!

Philip Kimball alias Professor Higgins,1964

My sincere condolences, Jennifer and family. Here are happy photographic memories of Philip (and myself) acting in G.B. Shaw's PYGMALION performed by the Dramatic Society of the English Department at Heidelberg University, Germany in January 1964.

Philip & I had many classes together at DHS, we went on the harvest and started college together. He was a great person to have around when we were trapped in a small trailer while it rained for a few days in Hoxie, KS.

I always enjoyed being around Philip, listening to his stories and his harmonica playing. I'll miss you, Philip, but I am sure glad I knew you.

We remember a great friend, who shared years of our lives as students at Heidelberg University and a phantastic actor in performances of the English Drama Group.
His ironic way of looking at things and his bohemian attitude were inspiration to many of us. We loved his storytelling and his laugh was infectious.

Philip was a wonderful friend, an inspiring mentor, and an astonishingly talented teller of lies. He will live on in his family, friends, and his amazing books. The world lost a great one. He will be missed.

I was so sorry to read of your loss. Jennifer, you and the girls are a testament to Philip's well lived life. I am hoping you will find comfort in your joyful memories.

So sorry for your loss...I will always have fond memories of Phil!
