I met Phil over 25 years ago, when I worked with him at the Ford motor company in Dunton.
I was new to the department and Phil was a lifeline of help and friendship to me. We had some good times at Ford, but most was admittedly probably at the Olde Dog pub on a Friday lunch time.
I will really miss our WhatsApp chats, but Julie and I are so greatful we got to see you both on our trip.
Phil was one of those nice guy's who I will always remember.

Our friendship with him is something we’ll carry in our hearts forever.
