Author Topic: Phil Hill RIP Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-11-2010 04:15 PM                        I am numb and in shock, not sure what to say right now. I am glad I had the chance to meet him and make a projection "training" video with him. We'll miss you, Phil.  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 10-11-2010 04:39 PM                        Sad to hear. Seemed like a true 'life of the party' kind of guy.  |  IP: Logged Jarret Chessell Master Film Handler Posts: 288 From: London, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2009 posted 10-11-2010 06:21 PM                     I sure am going to miss having him around to bug. He was always a good sport and never too serious. Should we do something for him? Does anyone know of a charity he'd like to see donations made to in his memory?  |  IP: Logged Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 10-11-2010 07:09 PM                     Tentative plans include returning Phil to Fort Worth for interment however that could take upwards to a week. No plans have been set for services to my knowledge. I'll be talking to Phil's sister sometime tomorrow and if there is any additional news I'll be sure to post.

He was private about his medical problems and gave me a "sounding board" regarding some past issues. RIP....will miss your sharp but gentle wit.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day! Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-11-2010 07:44 PM                     Phil was one of a kind, that is for sure - I met him a few times at ShoWest, where he would be one of the jokesters at the F-T Drink. From what I have seen and heard, he had an impressive film and film equipment collection as well. Another of the 'old guard' of F-T has passed. RIP Phil.  |  IP: Logged Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 10-11-2010 07:55 PM                     I have alwasys enjoyed Phil's unusual sense of humor and will miss him greatly.

Particularly those who were kicked out of their homes for being gay.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-11-2010 08:45 PM                        Only knew Phil through this board, but enjoyed his posts and his contribution to the collective knowledge.

I got to meet Phil once and, as others have said, he was one of a kind (in a good way). RIP.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-11-2010 10:17 PM                     Geez. When I saw the title of this thread I was hoping it was just a joke made in bad taste. I had no idea Phil was not doing well. I met Phil only once, at a Film-Tech gathering Brad hosted at his house in Rockwall several years ago. Phil indeed did have a great, irreverent sense of humor. I can't remember for sure if that gathering was the one where the famous pirate photo was taken. Phil's passing reminds me of other really great members Film-Tech has lost over the years, like Paul Thompson & John Pytlak for instance. Pretty sad.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Dieter Expert Film Handler Posts: 234 From: Yakima, WA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 10-11-2010 11:41 PM                     Like many here....

Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 10-12-2010 02:11 AM                        I had always hoped to meet Phil in person at some point, but alas that just never happened. But thanks to this forum and numerous chats I felt like I had come to know the man over these last ten years. He was truly a great guy and a lot of fun to read. I felt privileged that he called me a friend. Phil ol' buddy, now you get to "fly west" for your final check. Your humor and unselfish willingness to share your knowledge and experience (and not just in technical areas either) will be sorely, sorely missed. Be in peace.  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 10-12-2010 04:45 AM                     Shocking and terrible news!
