Viewing the funeral service online from our home in Fiji was a wonderful tribute and respect to Phil as his family and friends came together for the celebration of his life. The whole service gave thanks and praise to God and to the full life Phil gave to many. He leaves a sterling legacy of a faithful husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to many who loved him. Our love and prayers are with Patsy and her respective families praying the God of All Comfort is with you always. - Loloma kei na masu!

The mad scientist and life of the party is no more. Great memories of our work in the NZFP lab, great times at concerts for Wishbone Ash at Western Springs, Supertramp in the Town Hall and Nambassa at Waihi, followed by milkshakes at Ngatea. Dining at the Toby Jug and other restaurants was spectacular. The old Hillman Minx and then the Superminx with weekends at Taupo or Ruapehu. Thankyou Phil for the treasured memories, you will always be remembered.
Our thoughts and sympathy to Patsy and the family.
