Phil was one of those guys who left a lasting impression with nearly every one he met. For me it was sometime back in 1988 and we have been mates ever since. Over the past few years we chatted every couple of weeks about all sorts of topics, and often for some lengthly periods. Funny how Phil would often start the conversation with "I'm loosing my voice" and then proceed to chat for 40 mins. I have many great memories of time spent with Phil and I will miss his laugh and compassion. Eternal Rest
