His handsome smiling face was always a joy to see. He made friends so easy and gave good advice where needed. I look forward to the day when I hope to see him again. Love, Mum

I was fortunate to know Phil for a short time at Saunders. I was new to the company, and Phil was always helpful, polite and supportive. His knowledge seemed boundless to me, and he was skilled in many areas. It was difficult for me to judge how much he was suffering, because he was always cheerful and positive. My heartfelt sympathies go to his family for the loss of such a great man.

You was a very dear friend and collegue, you was my Mentor and taught me a great look about the valve business but also about myself. I still remember the last time you was in work when you used to ask me to put your coat on for you and we always had a laugh. Phil you had such spirit, God always takes the best, I hope you are up there with my mother looking after her.
