  • I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Philip. I was just thnking about him and wondering if I can find him so I happened to search his name and came across his passing. He was such a good man, I called him Uncle Philip. He was my favorite Uncle and so sad that we lost touch over the years. I'm so sad that I miss his funeral which I sure would have been there to pay my respects and say my goodbye!! R.I.P Uncle Philip you will never be forgotten.

  • I know he always walked for a long time and rode a bike everywhere he went, so I walked home from downtown in to the Maples from The Bay and I still go for long bike rides for my uncle. Going to miss you, love you
