Philip lived life to the fullest.  He loved his family and always made time for his friends.  He had a wicked sense of humor, was a great writer, and was always willing to try new things & have a little fun. Everyone love Philip's Portola Valley home.  It was exquisitely decorated in a warm and inviting way. He had a fantastic collection of music, and he gave the world's best bear hugs.

Our friendship (as widow & divorcee) endured for almost 40 years. As the eldest sibling in our families - Philip of 3 brothers, me of 3 sisters - we considered each other the coveted sister / brother we never had. Philip's sense of humor was definitely quirky, as you can see by photos I've shared. As my dear "brother," confidante and friend, Philip will be sorely missed.
