Special memories of a great friendship, Phil was my friend for nearly 50 years. We will both miss you Phil, but are grateful to have shared so many happy times with you.. I will particularly miss our weekly nights out putting the world to rights, and getting the updates about Tom's rugby exploits.. Thinking of you Tom and sending our love - your Dad was so proud of you. Our condolences to the whole family at this very painful time..

We send all our love and support to Thomas and family. It has been a privilege to spend time with Phil over many years. His fantastic sense of humour and infectious laugh has always brightened our lives, and continues to bring a smile even at this sad time. He will be missed enormously, but leaves us with memories which we will always treasure.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Philip John. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
