Tributes

  1. It is now 4 years’ since Phil passed away and I have only just heard. My heartfelt condolences are sent to all his family. I knew Phil in the UK back in the 1960’s and in fact am the girlfriend referred to in his obituary. I say this only as you won’t recognize my name. I never forgot him; he was always someone incredibly special to me, and I’d always hoped that at some point we would meet again and share our memories. Sadly this was not to be ......
    So ....... thank you to his wife and girls for giving him a happy life. I too was so sad to hear this news xx
