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.

Philip helped me a lot in ways he would never have imagined.
Thank you and God bless,

Sad news.
Philip was a most approacheable person and always willing to provide
help when I enquired on weather matters. He offered suggestions and
ideas when I was developing my websites and writing articles. I also
spent a day at his Whipsnade place in order to collect data from his
library. I last heard from him, in early 2014, not long after moving up
here.

RIP Philip
