Hi Jeff and Jean; I'm so very sad to have learnt of poor Phil's passing just this morning, and not to have made the funeral. I was a colleague of his at group three Central back in the glorious 1980s, and joined two or three years after him. He was always the most jolly and engaging man, with a marvellous and ribald sense of humour, and was a loyal and constant friend during my time in the job, prior to my moving back to Port Isaac to live in 1990. I dearly loved him, as did everyone on the shift. I hope today passed as well as these things can, and that you will in short order be able to reflect on all your own fond memories of him.
With Kindest Regards
