I read on Facebook that Philip passed away. He was a member here and I'm sure he had a few friends here, so I thought I'd pass on the info. RIP Philip.

Phil will be missed here in Florida. He was a member of the Manasota Steel Guitar Club and was
a regular player at the jams. Phil was very talented
and one of the finest steel guitar musicians anywhere. He was also a good friend.

Sad news. I met him several times at the Manasota jams and he even came to a couple of the old Florida Steel Guitar Club jams.

Phil was a friend , we often exchanged emails and skype's regarding his attempted development of a Multi Tuning Cam devise he invented for laps.

I knew his health was in question for a long time now and will miss him and his playing.

I'm sad to hear about Phil. He did some fine non pedal when he came to our Florida Steel Guitar Club.

Attended the services for Phil today at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Palmetto, Florida. His life was celebrated. Phil was a man of many talents in addition to his mastery of the steel guitar.

Very talented picker and a nice guy. He built a third neck for his Excel Double neck and it was a superb build. I played many jams in Palmetto with Phil. The quality of his playing was top notch. We will miss him. Prayers to his family.
