RIP Phil...my favorite capt. on the series..Godspeed...

he was Quite enjoyable to watch

but still....i have to say that chain smoking cigarettes,
drinking coffee non stop and sleep deprivation not to
mention the "ultimate stress" of navigating the bearing sea
and living to tell about it.... and all the Alcohol afterward's

wasn't the Healthiest way to live....
and it "appears" to have shortened his life considerably....
but hey, he went out as
a Crab fisherman and was proud of it.

Rest in Peace Phil......... you earned it.

Rip Capt'n Phil.

Fair winds and Following seas, Cap

RIP Phil...my favorite capt. on the series..Godspeed...

Ditto.

It seems that he raised some real good kids. I hope they follow in his footsteps.

Sad news, very tough for his family I am sure,,,,,,

a stroke is more serious than most think, even after the fact....

has passed. He suffered a massive stroke. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

RIP Phil your one hell of a captain

Wow, that sucks. He had some underlying conditions though. It must be tough on his sons. Thought and Prayers indeed.

man thats a shame. wish i could say I didn't see that coming.

T & p's - his boys are gonna take it rough... They looked tight on the show.

Very sad news. Redbulls, stress and smokes, not the best lifestyle for sure. He spent his life doing what he loved and sharing it with his boys. RIP Phil

I feel like a lost a friend. I enjoyed hosting him in my home over the years on Deadliest Catch. I hope the boys look enjoy that they got to spend time with their dad, while out fishing through the years.

God Bless Capt Phil

I will burn one for you tonight

He will be missed. A colorful captain of a TV series showing the stress he lived with. I think he stated that coronary illness was in his family after he passed the blod clot during the filming of the series. RIP Phil.

RIP Captain Phil

He was one of my favorites... at least he did what he wanted right to the end.. not laying in a hospital bed for months or years..... and IMHO.. it's all any one of us can ask for..my thoughts go out to his boys..

Sad to see !
Very classy move by the crew of the Northwestern honoring their friend.

Sad news about Phil - condolences to his family and crew

He always reminded me a lot of some of the commercial guys I knew (and drank with) who are now gone

Rest easy, Cap


Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell
Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell
Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away

Wrap me up in me oilskin and blankets
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddlers Green

Discovery Channel's tribute coming soon.
