Best man alive, who will never be far from my thought's. Love you forever & always xx

To Gary Blackhawk,I would like to contact Phils parents if possible .My Email ; [email protected] I ended up with two messages, not realising one had gone through.Thanks for any help.

To Peter, Phil had just rehomed his parents and spoke a week before he left us about his Christchurch upbringing. He found out recently from his father of his early connections with the Motueka area but wondered where his family home was. He was searching. You have met Phil again through this page. You do know him well. He was the rare kind of person who when you met him, it felt like you had known him for ever. A kindred spirit of many.

My sincere condolences to the Evans family.I never knew Phillip,but I worked for Maurice ,his father ,when Phillip was a baby at Ngatimoti.Judging by all of the comments,it sounds like he turned out a great guy,and I would have liked to have known him.

My sincere condolences to Phils family,and to his parents ,Maurice and Elsie.I never knew Phil ,but I worked for his dad in Ngatimoti ,when Phillip was a baby.Judging by the comments ,he sounded like a heck of a good .guy

His laugh and smile will live on in my memory, the nights spent talking, drinking and partying are fond memories of my youth. I'll think of Philby everytime I hear a Black Sabbath song

Our deepest sympathy to Caz and families.

Philby, my friend, you were a true gentleman who would always step up and help anyone anywhere at anytime.

Taken too soon. RIP brother.

So sorry to hear this. Condolences to family and friends. It was a pleasure to see Philip in Chch almost 7 years ago now. He will be missed. RIP. Lesley McLachlan (cousin)

A honest, true gentleman, loveable character, a great friend gone to soon. Will be sorely missed.
Our condolences to Cass and family.

The only person I every met that was always happy, always having a great time, always willing to help or have a chat. The world really has lost some light with you gone. Rest easy and fly high Phil.

True friends are like diamonds,precious & rare. You were a diamond in the rough my friend. Go gentle into the light knowing you were well loved.

A true warrior to humanity. This world could do with many more men of his calibre and wisdom. An empathetic healer, story teller, friend and colleague. The harshness of life brings forth the best in a person. Phil achieved more than we can imagine, with the humility of a saint. He knew his stuff. We treasured witnessing that greatness in action. Thank you teacher! An example to behold. RIP

A great guy Phil, you would help anyone at any time. Generous and kind to all you met.
