Like a lot of folks here, I am still in shock over this sad news.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-23-2010 07:37 PM                     There was a very nice service earlier this afternoon to remember Phil at the Mount Olivet funeral home. A few of us were able to make it. I know others wanted to, even from out of state, but the timing didn't work with such short notice. We were fortunate enough to be within driving distance. Phil's daughter, Patricia, was unable to attend, but she wrote a very touching letter that Sue (Phil's sister) read at the service. Phil's obituary quote: HILL, Phillip Jerome (Phil) (65), of Los Angeles, died Friday, October 8, 2010. Born in Detroit, MI, he was a resident of Los Angeles for 34 years where he worked as a Computer Graphics Artist and was a collector of films. He will be missed by his family and friends. Graveside service: 3:00 p.m. Saturday at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Fort Worth, TX. Survivors: Daughter, Patricia Dahlquist and husband, Terus; grandchildren, Kylie and Easton; mother, Dorothy Hill; sister, Sue Smith and husband, Mike and their children and other family and friends. I wish I could think of a way to say goodbye in the spirit of Phil's often snarky and sarcastic sense of humor, but I'm still at a total loss for words. Goodbye Phil, your many friends miss you already.  |  IP: Logged Clint Koch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1435 From: San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-23-2010 09:21 PM                     Thanks Brad for the update..

Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-18-2012 03:46 PM                     I've been haunted by Phil lately. One of the students here said "Can I ask you a question?" To which, I replied: "Apparently so. What's your other question?" And then I woke up laughing this morning because in a dream I had just said that so-and-so was "madder than a wet hen." Phil loved to say that and now it makes me think of him. Sigh.  |  IP: Logged Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 02-18-2012 04:48 PM                     Every time I drive north of Atlanta through Marietta, Ga and pass the campus location of Kennesaw State University I think of Phil. It always reminds me of the day I picked him up from the Atlanta airport, drove him to pick up a rental truck and helped him load equipment he purchased from an Ebay auction to take back to his home in the Hollywood hills. That was a good time. Then my mind goes back to that fateful day David and I arrived at our hotel in Hollywood , called Phil to confirm our plans for dinner that night. No answer on Phil's phone. I tried a dozen times that evening and again the next morning to reach Phil. A couple of hours later I received that haunting call from Phil's sister with the news of his passing. Damn.....I miss Phil.  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 02-18-2012 05:12 PM                     Chatted many times with Phil. He was a Vietnam vet like me and also worked in the same field. We had many thinks in common and he was always a great person to chat with.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 02-20-2012 01:24 PM                        A good man!  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 02-27-2012 01:34 PM                     Hard to believe it is approaching two years since Phil's passing. Thankfully, his spirit lives on through this forum and all the good folks here who knew him personally.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 10-08-2014 12:02 AM                 It has been 953 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"
