This is the MOST shocking news I could ever image!!

Phil and I were just emailing about a problem with his battery and how he picked up a new diehard. I was just checking my emails to see if he responded yet, I had no idea. I am shaking like a leaf on a tree, my eyes are filled with tears, my heart is so sad. OMG!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> this sucks so bad!!

Phil, I will miss you so much! I will miss all your jokes, your fun and most of all your wit. Your sense of humor was what helped me to get through the day.

We shared lots of PM's and emails, I WILL NEVER FORGET THEM OR YOU!

Rest in peace good friend!

Phil was most definatly a good man. he helped me with a few things on my runner via the forum. he will be missed severely. my prayers are with his family and friends. till we meet in the offroad trail in the sky..

I remember Phil from back in the vmag days. My prayers go out to his family and friends. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

I never had the chance to meet Phil in person, but my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends so that they may know how dearly missed he will be.

It is surely sad to hear of his passing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />
although i never had the chance to exchange thoughts with him, reading his advice was always informative.
my sincerest condolences <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

My condolences and prayers to Phil, his family and all who knew him. I too never met him but have e-mailed back and forth numerous times for info and advise during my two years on the board. Always very helpful and informative. We even spoke about careers at one time. I could tell he is a stand up guy and will be very welcome and loved in the place he is now.
God bless

Very sad, can't think of anything else to say.

Godspeed Phil.

Godspeed Phil.

My prayers are out to Phil, his family, and friends.

Does anyone know if Phil's parents have a link to this post? They really need to READ about how much their son was respected and will be missed on this forum.

May you rest in peace Phil. May god grant you will and happiness in the here-after. You are remembered in the hearts of those that knew you and forever will be of those as a man of kindness, prestige, and knowledgablility.
