A friend and colleague for many years – we laughed, rode motorcycles, sailed and worked together. Deepest sympathy to Murielle, his children and grandchildren.
Sending my condolences to Phil’s family during this time. I was very sorry to hear of his passing.
My thoughts are with you folks only knew this fine man from our school days. He was a super guy when I was in school with him
Again thoughts are with the family and friends
My dear friend Phil, your absence will be felt. From our first meeting at his office in Burnaby, BC, I was impressed by his astute business acumen, which greatly contributed to the success of his business and demonstrated genuine care for his employees. We had numerous lunch meetings at Anatolia’s Restaurant, where he really enjoyed a favorite dish; bowl of Lentil soup. I still continue to visit this restaurant, which has now become a family favorite. Phil also introduced me to several other restaurants; he loved to explore and share stories.
Phil got me into the Fitbit craze, making me walk more. He loved checking our step counts and once beat me by walking around his house at 11pm. He was proud of his sneaky victory. Phil was a great friend and motivator, and I am grateful for the memories we shared. I extend my sincere condolences to the family. During this difficult time, please know that my thoughts are with you all. May you find comfort and strength in each other and in the memories you shared with your loved one.
My deepest sympathies to Phil’s family. My first job was working for Phil in Nelson and he had a profound effect on my business career. I will never forget the impact he made and I was fortunate to be able to tell him near the end.
Murielle, Allison and all of Phil’s family. My sincere condolences on your loss. I am fortunate to have met Phil when he moved to Kelowna. I know he will be missed by all.
Phil was a fellow motorcycle buddy. Our group of eight to ten riders would take off each Spring for a few days ride throughout the Pacific Northwest . I can remember Phil having all the right tools to get one of the bikes back on the road, Mostly we loved his enthusiasm, stories and sense of humour.
My Sincere Condolences to Jennifer and Family.
We had many Good Runs with Phil & Larry on Silver King Ski Hill During High School.
