SAD ANNOUNCEMENT

Tee you think maybe we can setup some sort of account like PayPal for example where we can contribute money to help his family. Funeral costs can be quite expensive. And maybe a flower arrangement from the forum for his wife to show how much he was loved by the people of this forum.

Tee we should use your non business account since you are in charge of the forum. I am sure we can pool some money together for them. That way it can be presented to them from the forum and it's members as one.

that really sucks.  I liked phil.  he is the one who turned me on to the instant gourmet line of spices.  I didn't know who he was when he asked for my address to send me some spices to try.  we had a good relationship since then.  we emailed a lot about food and his spices.  he just send me a pound of the instant gourmet a couple weeks ago.  he also gave me some good info on how to make chili.  I liked him a lot.  this brings great sadness to me.   :(

Quite the sad and sudden occurrence... I read his wife's post this afternoon and was completely shocked. Have been friends with Phil on Facebook and we shared many "likes" of each others posts, then a little over a week ago we started private messaging between each other.

My sympathies and prayers to his wife and family...

Like Don and Rick I didn't know Phil, and after reading all this, I'm sure we all lost a good man. My condolences go to his family.
