Goodbye, uncle phil (NSFW - he would have wanted it that way)

Rest peacefully, Phil. My condolences and best wishes, Marilyn.
I can't say it better than Martian just did.

 

Cheers, Phil.

Like you said... one hell of a ride.

 

My deepest condolences to you Marilyn, your family and friends. And to all here at TFP who were close to Phil.

 

Good-bye, Phil.

Thank you for the great laughs, the good advice and your solid presence.

 

i dont think ive been this emotional online before. It is a sad day for all of us here at TFP.

Thank you for the good laughs Phil. Safe journey. You will be sorely missed.

 

I dont know what to say. Even though i never met phil in person i feel like i knew him.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Phil's Marilyn and his entire family. Heaven is a better place now that phil is there.
Cheers....

 

thanks phil,for being you.......RIP buddy.

 

Bobby loves you....xoxoxoo

 

Phil never knew the impact he had on me. He had the ability to make me smile, even during the darkest hours of my life. He, without ever knowing it, gave me hope for a brighter day.

Go well, may your loved ones find the same peace,comfort, and smiles he so generously gave many of us.

 

Safe journey, my friend.

 

I've been thinking of this song all day...

 

Farewell ,Phil, you'll be sorely missed.
Peace to all Phil's family & friends.

 

I could try to come up with something to say now, but he already said it best. He had a knack for doing that. It was a hell of a ride and he was a hell of a guy.

 

I never had much interaction with him. He pretty much outclassed me in every way, which wouldn't have mattered at all to him. When amazing people die, I'm always struck by the beauty and tenderness that arises as a response to their passing. This thread is beautiful and I think we'd all be lucky to generate half the beauty in dying that has come about in phil's final weeks. He is loved.

 

While I only knew Phil through posts on here, it is obvious how deeply he touched so many of the lives here. We are all a little less for his passing, but I think it is important to remember to celebrate his life and memory. I hope that the love and support from the TFP community is some consolation and comfort to Marilyn right now.

Rest in Peace Phil, you've earned that.

 

Phil's Marilyn posted this on the caring bridge site last night, what an awesome thing for him to do.
