Sifuphil has died

For Philly
I hear you in the silent pulse of all green lives
Which lift their face each day,
For comfort in the dance that thrives
Lulled in Life’s embrace.
Loved one,
You burned in me this fervent Spring
Which flowered in your grace,
Until my heart became a joyous sun
No sorrow shall deface.

Sleep well, Wolf eyes. See you when the
Wheel spins again.

Heartfelt condolences. Phil was definitely one of a kind. I'd wondered how he was doing. :cry:

Rest In Peace, and peace to you, Shali.
 
I am so very sorry to hear this. I enjoyed Philly's humor and genuineness and looked forward to his posts. He always had a funny story to tell. His stories about his childhood misadventures brightened many a day for me. He seemed to be truly a kind man and I liked him a lot.

Shali, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of this dear man.
 
I haven’t been this down since visiting my eldest son in the psych ward of OSP

Philly was an immediate friend

We clicked on many, most any, things

Had several PMs, some deep, some freaking hilarious

Wish now I could retrieve them

They’d be keepsakes, treasures

He was the first to permit me to include him in my fractured taproom scenes

More than a good sport



We shared some personal stuff

Nuthin’ sappy, just real things

And Philly…he was as real as they come



I don’t think I’ll ever meet another Philly

I really don’t want to

Gems should never be duplicated



I heard he went out at peace with things

Very happy for that

Hope to do the same



I have more words, but dammit, I can’t see to type right now



So, here’s some early taproom scenes, starring my buddy

Luv ya, man
