Phil, a/k/a PRBuzz, Buzzby, Bee Reel, original Boat Ho, lost his battle with cancer yesterday after fighting this round for two years. He had fought it in the past as well.

His wife Susan announced it today:

"It is with great sadness that I write this - my beloved husband Philip passed away yesterday, June 22 after a courageous 2 year battle with esophageal cancer.

Arrangements will be forthcoming."

"In Florida, charter boat crews have extended the prohibition beyond bananas and related food products to include objects that merely have the word banana on it, such as Banana Boat sunscreen, or items from Banana Republic, During fishing tournaments, anti-banana feelings run high. Not leaving any stone unturned, each person on board is quizzed as to what brand of underwear they are wearing. Should some clueless individual mention they are wearing Fruit of the Loom, a rather unpleasant operation is performed on them. First, they are seized by a couple of stout deckhands and given a punitive "wedgie" to prepare the surgical field. A razor-sharp filet knife is then used to excise the label, which curiously doesn't even have a banana on it. Experts recommend not struggling during this procedure, particularly if after a hard night of carousing the underwear is on backwards."

RIP Buzz.

RIP

Awful news, he was truly a good guy. For some reason he took to my son, every time he saw him he would treat him like his own. RIP my friend.
