Phil drove us to the airport for our first holiday abroad together! It was only last year Laura and I were chatting away in the car with Phil as he shared his life with us. We talked about his recent achievement - he had just passed his test to drive lorries, Becky was recovering from her op and they were looking forward to going away somewhere near France. It was only a brief journey to Bristol airport but it was the first thing that came to mind when we thought about Phil.
It is often in these situations like car journey's that you can get to know people better even dispel some assumptions. People that knew Phil longer than we did often mention how hard working he was but at that moment we had the relaxed Phil not in a rush, happy to enjoy the journey with us - chatting about life and all sorts.
We will miss him and we hope that this little memory of ours will bring a little smile to his loved ones - know that Phil was not just a blessing to his nearest and dearest but to all those around him - even us.
