I learned this evening that Philip Eden died last week. As many will

Yes a sad day. He was always very helpful to me and I was able to meet
him once when I visited his home with Ron. He had a massive knowledge
base in stored material and in his head and was always glad to share it
with us amateurs. Sympathies to his family and RIP.

Indeed, not only so knowledgeable - he went out of his way to be friendly and helpful. The information he always seem to have at his fingertips was astounding.

I remember well him making me feel welcome when I first joined USW. I'm still using a minimum thermometer he let me have many years ago. A memory of Philip.

RIP
