Kind, loving and caring of all humanity. Tragically taken from life in his prime. The sadness I feel pales into insignificance compared to that of his family and close friends and yet I feel it all the same. I heard such wonderful things about you when you last visited and I feel hollow now that I didn’t get the opportunity to see you myself and hear all about your adventures. Your wonderful humanity shone through your words as Rod spoke them to me.

I will never forget you Philip Loates. Your wonderful smile, your fun and your eagerness to help others will shine a bright light forever more.

RIP dear Philip.
