I learned this evening that Philip Eden died last week.

Like everyone else, I am very sad to hear this.

I have happy memories of taking part in discussions with him here on uk.sci..weather, going back nearly 20 years. I always felt it was a privilege that someone with a strictly amateur interest in the weather like myself had the chance to talk to a real professional, as he unquestionably was.

About 10 years ago, when I mentioned on the news group that I would be away for a few days to attend my mother's funeral, Philip took the trouble to send me a very kind personal e-mail offering his sympathy, a gesture to someone he only knew online which I very much appreciated.

My condolences to his family, friends and former colleagues.
