I learned this evening that Philip Eden died last week. As many will
know, Philip had been in a care home for some time suffering from
dementia.

I have known Philip for a very long time. We first worked together more
than 40 years ago and our paths have crossed frequently since then. He
was, and still is in a way, a significant part of my professional
career. He became a good friend as well as a colleague and I shall miss
him.

Philip was the instigator of this newsgroup. The diminishing number of
us who still populate the group owe him a great deal. The
meteorological community has lost one of its great enthusiasts.

RIP.

Sad news indeed.
I will echo the comments of others in saying that he was always patient
and helpful on this group, even with the likes of rank amateurs like me!

It's such a shame he didn't post on here for longer.

RIP Philip and condolences to his family.
