We knew Phil to be a man of energy and optimism, but most importantly he was a truly kind man with a sense of humanity and patience, who made the world a better place for us all. We send much love and courage to his family.

Our condolences to the Withy family at this time of sudden great loss. The reverence with which Brendan spoke of his father, in particular Phil's musical legacy, left us in no doubt as to the high regard in which he was held by family and friends. Love and support to the Withy clan.
