James Godin wrote a sympathy message

“Condolences to Philip's family. Phil was legendary in the Pharmacy world! At least 43y of dedicated service in the Pharmacy Department at the VG hospital in Halifax. A plaque was mounted outside the Pharmacy Manufacturing Laboratory and named in his honor when he retired years ago. A master at compounding pharmaceuticals that were not commercially available and countless years spent also in the Nuclear Medicine department. A great Pharmacist! May he rest now after years spent in chronic pain.”

“Phil was a wonderful friend and mentor to all of us in Nuclear Medicine. We were his Radiopharmacy angels and we loved him dearly. He kept us well supplied and well fed, his culinary skill was legendary. He was a fixture around the hospital, everybody knew him and looked forward to sharing a laugh with him. Rest In Peace dearest Phil, the world will miss your kind and generous nature and your fun loving spirit. The crew will raise a glass in your honour. Love you and we will miss you always!”

“I worked for 4 years with Phil at the VG site (QE2)and have to say every time I shared a shift with him, I knew we’d have an enjoyable time. What a character! Every move he made in the compounding room was amazingly knowledgeable and competent. I learned a lot from him. That hospital was so fortunate to have Phil there in the pharmacy. I pray his soul is at rest and that his family find solace in knowing how respected he was. Sincere thoughts and prayers. 😞”
