So Sorry to hear this news. I worked with Philip from 1995-1998 when he was coordinator from Corporate IT of Black and Decker for IT units in Eastern Hemisphere and I was the IT Head for EH. There were numerous occasions where we worked together. Hope his soul rests in peace and God gives his family strength to withstand this loss.
