I received a call today - that Phil LaMarche has passed away.
Phil had the flu, but had otherwise been watching his diet, and was in good overall health. Phil passed quietly in his sleep. Further announcement of arrangements, and address will be forth-coming.
For me - Phil was a mentor that was always ready with advice from years of experience in the food seasonings industry. He was kind, generous and the most amiable gentleman one could ask for. He is - and will always be sorely missed.
