I would like to honour Philip’s memory. I found him to be always very kind and absolutely dependable. I respected his wisdom as an Anglican Reader. I was grateful to him especially in that he organised - without any fuss- our Rota for reading or saying prayers at our Team Communion. Philip was the sort of person whose presence made a difference to those who worked with him or met him. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. Susan Osborne

With love from Steve and Di B. PHILLIP A time of reflection today For a kindly man’s farewell Who lived a true Christian life Everyone could tell You were a true gentleman With a quiet sense of fun And a big beaming smile As warm as the morning sun Always there at church events Manning stalls to raise some money Selling raffle tickets Your countenance always sunny Your online church service Always a joy to see Your kindly voice speaking The Word of God to me Clear and with much love You spoke of God’s good news To all who could not journey out To sit upon the pews A kind and gentle, calming soul Is what we found in you Who loved his God and his family And whose life was good and true I can almost still hear you preaching Your voice in my mind’s ear Delivering God’s word Lovingly and clear Your gentle voice now stilled No more God’s earthly preacher Now with Him, you spoke of: Our Great and Heavenly Teacher

We have fond memories of Phillip as a dear friend over many years & so many celebrations enjoyed in his company . We admired him as a devoted, supportive & proud family man. Sending lots of love & prayers to Julie, David, Lisa & all the family. Rest in peace dear Phillip From Audrey & Pete xxxx
