Sifuphil has died

[Shalimar]

I am very sad to report that Philly has died. During this past year, his health deteriorated badly. Thursday night, his roommate found him in a coma, and all efforts by EMT to revive him were unsuccessful. I have no words.

I'm so sorry to hear that. @SifuPhil is one of the first members to help this forum get off the ground. He was always so funny, kind and special. Phil was still very young, he was in his early sixties if I remember correctly. This is just so sad and shocking. RIP Phil, you will be dearly missed. Thanks for letting us know, Shalimar.

Stunned, absolutely stunned.

Was already missing him on the forum.

RIP Sifuphil

Such shocking news to get first thing this morning. ... Phil had a heart of gold and was just a wonderful person .... will always remember his great humor and kind words. So sorry to hear this.
Thank you @Shalimar for letting us know.

 

[Shalimar]

Thank you all for your kind words. 60 is far too young to die. But he still lives in the memories of those of us he touched with his laughter, kindness, and delightfully eccentric mind. Sleep well, Philly,

Oh no!
Too young, too loved to have left us.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
