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.

Seconded.

It was a pity that he was fooled into believing Glowalls and sad that though he lived long enough to see the end of the scam, it is not likely that he understood the outcome.

God will make the judgements on those that do have the ability to make correct discernments from now on.
