First, let me offer my deepest condolences to Cecilia and Phillips family on his passing. I too was surprised, first to see his truck being offered for sale and then to see the reply indicting he had passed. I recall reading many of his posts while he was with us and found them to always be well thought out and informative.
I took the time to re-read through his original posts and many replies in the forums and would offer these words on "Stovebolter Phillip". He was extremely enthusiastic, thoughtful, and resourceful in discussing his questions and sharing resources and answers. He didn't rely on just asking questions for others to answer, but did his best to research things before hand and include what he found to help define or clarify what he was asking about. The words - gentleman, kind, courteous, sharing, energetic, and resourceful can readily be applied to him. He went out of his way to post kind thoughts and considerations for fellow Bolters and shared information he learned.
In my mind, Phillip always displayed the best attributes of a Stovebolter and our community. His presence will be missed, but not forgotten! Rest In Peace Phillip.
