Every year goes by I miss him still. I often think of him and wish I could just talk to him. I talked to him every single day nearly for a decade. The hole that was created upon his demise has never been filled. I have lost nearly every one of my best friends, him being the second. Since then I have lost 3 more. Phillip was hilarious, brilliant, creative and sincerely one of my life's best treasures. My life was made immeasurably better for having him in it. He loved that my kids loved one of his culinary creations and we smile every time we make it and they are now making it adults and it is his legacy. So much love for Phillip.

Dr Reeves was a great doctor and musician. Had the pleasure of meeting him years ago. A great loss.

It's been a lonely year without you but I remember some of the funniest times...like the time on the loud speaker when you played Doris Day "The party's over" and Miss Breck came in all dressed up---the only dog that could smile on command. I hope you crossed Rainbow Bridge with her because she was waiting for you. Rest in peace my friend. And Graham, I love you.

I am so sorry to only hear of Dr. Reeves' passing now. He was a wonderful doctor and a kind and compassionate human being. Although I only knew him a short time, he influenced me deeply. In our sessions, he recommended books to me that were helpful... we talked about food, pets, knitting. He made me feel like he understood where I was coming from, from his own personal experience. My condolences to Graham-- he spoke of your getaways together like they were the best times in his life! And I'm sure they were. I would also like to send my sympathies to the other surviving family members, during this difficult time. Dr. Reeves will be missed by all of the patients he helped, and I pray that that will bring you great comfort amidst this tragedy. God bless.

My condolences to Dr. Reeves family and partner. I was shocked and sorry to hear of his passing. I was a patient and he was so kind. It still makes me tear up because he's the only person who has recently said to me "who do you tell your troubles to" and meant it. What a wonderful person.

Dr. Reeves,
We only met a few times, but you helped me in so many ways. Not only did you help me deal with day-to-day issues, but you also helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. For that, I am forever in your debt. I am sorry to see you go, but I know that you are in a better place now. May you rest in peace knowing the good you have done down here for so many people. Thank you.

I still can't fathom it. I sure enjoyed our occasional chats on facebook. We will miss him greatly. Graham, my prayers go out to you. Feel free to chat me up whenever you're on fb.

Phil's early passing has left quite a hole in my life. Even though I am happily married he made me feel like a better and more valuable person. I'm so glad his last years were his happiest. He always deserved the best and all the good things that life had to offer him. He got them in abundance, love, culture, music and cooking...God bless you my beautiful friend, and may God especially surround Graham with all his friends at this difficult time...

Phillip I didn't know you in person but I enjoyed your presence very much on Facebook and will miss your wonderful humor and the fun we all had with Albert and Victoria. You left us way too soon.

I was an older pal/mentor to Phillip in Ocean City, NJ in the late 1970's. He was just out of school and making his way playing music gigs and waitering. I arranged his living with my Aunt Addie one summer and taught him how to knit. Phillip was a quick study and always on the go. I am sorry that we lost touch and just now when I tried to re-connect, I learned of his passing. I have some photos of those early years and will gladly give them to Graham if he wishes. My deepest condolences.

If you've spent any amount of time around the mental health field you know that good psychiatrists are few and far between. Dr, Reeves was one of the good ones. He had a great sense of humor and a way of just setting you at ease. He definitely knew his stuff and I believe that God used his gift to give me my life back. I will miss him bunches!

I just found out this morning that Dr. Reeves had passed away. I was his patient for 2 years and he absolutely changed my life. He was an amazing person and Doctor. We often talked about his cats and Graham, as well as his family. He recommended books to me all the time. Words cannot express how devastated I am. It took me over 15 years to find a great psychiatrist. The world lost a great man. He will truly be missed. I wish I had found out earlier so that I could have attended his funeral. Thank you Dr. Reeves for being such a great man.

I will always remember Phil for his kind heart, sense of humor, exuberance for life, and his many interests including music and medicine. He livened up the online group we shared. I never technically met him but feel like we were as near and dear as any friends. When I shared with him about a music career I had to give up due to psoriatic arthritis I felt as if he "got it" as almost no one else could. We formed a strong bond. My heart goes out to Graham and Barbara. He always spoke so fondly of both of you.You are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to here about Phil! I have found memories of Phil in youth group at Beverly Hills. He was mature for his age back then and had a caring spirit. Reading all the notes, it is apparent that he touched many lives and will be missed.

Phillip was a violin pupil of mine. When he was a teenager I helped Phillip make the switch toward becoming a fine violist ! My fond memories of Phillip will be of a very intelligent,talented young man,full of boundless energy who cared & wanted to make a difference in the world . It is quite obvious,to everyone who knew Phillip, that he was an extremely successful human being who will be sorely missed !! I want to offer my heartfelt condolences to Mr.& Mrs. Reeves ,his Sister,Barbara & his partner Graham.

Phillip was one of my dearest friends. I looked forward to seeing him online every day. I grew to love Phillip. It was easy to do with his quick wit, brilliant mind and genuine heart. He was there for me through some difficult times and always made things easier. His humor made my day. That he shared his life with me and was a blessing that I will be thankful for forever. There is a void where he once was that cannot be replaced. I have many good memories to cherish. I shall miss our conversations and phone calls. He was indeed one of my closest friends and my heart goes out to Graham and those that loved him. I wish I could be there at his Memorial Service, it's not for lack of love.

Graham I know this time may be difficult without your love. You have friends and family to help you through so reach out. Celebrate the wonderful memories, side splitting laughs, the wit and wisdom of a man's life well lived. I knew Phil for 22 years from Eugenia and beyond. He will always be part of my heart.

I have known Dr. Reeves for only a few months, but in that few months he showed me his incredible understanding, compassion and sense of humor. This man, I thought, would make a great friend. He oozed kindness and made me immediately feel as though he truly cared. He helped me get through the hardest period in my life with compassion, humor and again, kindness. He will be sadly missed by me as well as a plethora of friends he gained throughout life and his business career. My prayers go out to his lifelong partner, as well as his immediate family. Thank you, Doctor Reeves, for being my friend. You saved me from myself. Annie

I was very sad to hear Phil had died. We worked together as residents at Jefferson. He was a delight -- conscientious, wickedly funny, and the only doctor I trained with who had studied solfege. My thoughts and prayers are with his partner and his family.

Phillip was my friend, though we had never met in person we chatted a few times a week for 8-9 years. He was always fun to chat with as his love for life, partner and his work was so clear. Few people can discuss art, music, travel, antiques, food, gardening and fun like Phillip could. I will miss him so much. RIP my friend.

Dr. Reeves,
Thank you for helping me at a time when I needed it the most. You went above and beyond during a stressful time in my life and were so compassionate and understanding. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends, they are so blessed to have you in their lives. You were the best doctor anyone could ever ask for with a great sense of humor. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to meet you.
