I also saw this yesterday from Tom posted on Facebook.I meet and
chatted with Phil at many NCECA conferences.He was always very
friendly and eager to talk about his Bison Tools.If you didn't know,
when living in Las Vegas he would rescue injured pigeons and
rehabilitate them.Somebody posted on FB that a friend stopped by for a
a wellness check and discovered Phil had passed.It was also posted
somebody came and picked up his rescued birds.
I have 4 of his trimming tools that are a dream to use and I shall
treasure them even more.We have lost a friend and great tool maker.

 I saw Tom Colman posted that Phil was found deceased in his home.
There
 are requests that anyone who knows about his family come forward.
 I know there were inquiries here about him som time ago. It makes me
sad to
 know he was all by himself. May he rest in peace.
 Best wishes,
