Author Topic: Phil Hill RIP Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 10-09-2014 01:53 PM                     My goodness, I had no idea. Having joined shortly before his passing, I never got to interact with him but after years of reading thousands of Film-Tech posts, I felt like I knew him as well as my friends. I found myself wondering "Where is this guy now? He's an absolute hoot!" every time I saw a post of his. Unfortunately I now know why that is not possible. Rest in Peace forevermore Phil, Film-Tech legend.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

May his presence forever live on!  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-11-2015 05:05 PM                     Every time this ornament surfaces around the holidays I always think of Phil. (For those who might not be aware, Phil had a working life size version of that lamp in his front window.)  |  IP: Logged Don Furr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 509 From: Sun City, Ca USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 12-11-2015 05:11 PM                     I miss Phil's phone calls!!  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

He used to call me out of the blue and talk about his days at Iwerks and Panavision. His was a great guy and is sorely missed. Mark  |  IP: Logged
