Good morning friends..

It makes one feel quite devastated an helpless to simply offer condolences to Marion and the family, which I do, but also to our K11 family who will miss our friend and fellow rider beyond measure. I know each of us will remember Phil our own way, the stories, the meetings, the laughter and the fellowship around the fire, the rides together, and the bond we will always share with him both here and in the great beyond as well. As much as we (I) will miss him, I also believe we will overcome our momentary grief and learn to rejoice in the richness he brought to life and shared with us in so many ways.

May his road be smooth and his weather fair...

A friend............// Ernie in NH

I just got home from a great night out.
Now, I learn of Phil's passing.
Such sad news.
I never met the man but did have some correspondence with him and he made a positive, lasting impression.
Great reading his posts on this forum.
He will be missed.

I've known Phil because I too live in El Paso and once I'd joined this forum, he contacted me and for the last six years we've interacted regularly, to my benefit and that of a couple of other K-bike riders in this remote area. We'd talked a few days before the final coma.

Today, the local paper published a short notification of his death, but said arrangements were to be determined.

If there is some sort of final ceremony that is local, I will attend on behalfof the K11OG group. My only concern will be whether I wear a K11OG shirt in honor of one side of his life, or my general officer blues in honor of his service to our country.

I'll let you know what happens; if you hear of the arrangements from other sources, let me know.

Larry,

Thanks for being there for the K11OG, however you feel appropriate.

John

John:

I've done a search on the forum but couldn't find anything about Harriet's funeral. El Paso was their latest residence but their base here was not their only one.

So if anyone hears of arrangements, i'd appreciate the info. The local papers charge an arm and a leg for the simplest of notices, and too many folks go to their final rest without notice from the newspaper.

Larry

There is no service currently.

Since he had so many friends from all over, I am hoping to have a memorial get together sometime later in the year (when the feelings are more "remember the good times" and less "cancer sucks.")

I was thinking mid-;ate June. Will that interfere with any of the usual gatherings?

Marian,

That sounds fine as far as any other K11 meetings. They are scheduled for August and September.

Thank you for letting us know.

See you at HM?

John. (& Cathy)

I have just logged in for the first time in weeks and am very sad to hear of Phil's passing. I never met him in person but was the beneficiary of his knowledge on more than one occasion. A good, honest man and a life well lived. We should all do so well.

Rest in peace brother, and my condolences to you Marian. May all these wonderful memories of your dad remind you of how many people he touched.

I'm not a real frequent visitor to this site, so just learned of Phil's passing this week while on a ride to Key West. My thoughts and prayers are with Phil's family and extended family. I never met Phil, but like so many others got to know him thru his postings here and a few pm's. He seemed like a very special man and would have enjoyed meeting him.

Another latecomer to the news, and my heart is saddened by the loss of a great man. I was happy to know him, however briefly, and we cooked together in joy and fellowship.

RIP Phil, and peace to his family.

I too have met and talked with Phil over the years.

I met both Phil and Harriet when I tried to get a KOG rally going back some years ago. We met up in Taos, NM. I'd dig for some pics....maybe I didn't have digital back then. Crying or Very sad

I brought my older brother along on his R1100 and we all went for a ride on that Saturday. Phil two up with Harriet and us solo. Well we were traveling on curvy roads at a good pace. My brother waved at me to slow and yelled 'slow down'. I yelled back...'No, that's why we came here' and then I had to cath up to Phil....he was far ahead.

And here's my only pic

I still can't believe Phil is gone. I used to do drive bys here on K11 and Phil would see my name on the current users list and call me. Crying or Very sad

I'm going to miss his long stories and deep laugh.

Another late comer here....I seem to remember Phil was doing battle with cancer, but was under the impression he had gotten it under control, that doesn't appear to have been the case. Certainly is great to see all the timely photo's others are sharing here. I hadn't seen him in years....I ran into him a time or two at Marty's, but otherwise chatted a few times here. He was a fantastic guy and will be missed by many.....RIP, Phil Rolling Eyes

After reading Allen's post, I just realized that I never posted this photo on this thread. I think it belongs here too.

Full credit goes to Rydor (Sean) for this, I just stole it...
