So sad to see this. Phil was both a workmate (contractor) and a friend. He was a really nice man who I was hoping could regain health and rejoin us at work again one day and he was very hopeful he could. Phil was super reliable, absolutely excellent person in every way. My thoughts go out to family, who Phil often mentioned with affection over a beer or 2. And he rekindled some old memories when he recalled why he knew me from when we were teenagers.

Just to soon Phil, RIP
