Heard that Phil passed this afternoon. Apparently Covid was what finally took him down. He fought a good fight for a long time and played the heck out of the Dobro! Not to mention being a great guy.

He was one of the masters of the resophonic guitar, and a great guy to boot. My condolences to his wife and family.

A great guy to be around and as Brad said, one of the Masters. I found the way he dealt with his on-going health setbacks very inspiring. My condolences also to his family.

Seems like we have to check here every day only to find another one of our friends has passed. RIP old friend.

Liven up that Heavenly band my friend. So glad I got to know you. I'll miss your jokes and that radiant smile. You were an icon in the dobro society.

So sad to hear of my friends passing. Phil and I became friends when he moved to Nashville in late 80s 3 miles from me. One of the kindest and most humble persons I’ve ever met. Phil leaves a great legacy as a musician, father, husband and friend.
