Mats and I had the honour of meeting Philip's sister Deborah recently in Dublin. Earlier in the week, we had payed our respects to Philip at the cemetery. Deborah has asked me to pass along a message to all of Philip's friends here on the forum. She wanted to thank all the fans and let you all know ...

A kind hearted gentleman who meant so much to
so many .... Goodbye Philip , you will be greatly missed on the Raft xx

Happy birthday Mr. C . Hope you have a
wonderful day ... Lots of love , Carmen xx

My thoughts are with you Mr. C
You have shown your kindness to all of us
over the years , and there is a special place
in our hearts for you . Hugs and much love
from me to you xxx
