He was a good one. He was very entertaining and was “in charge” with the old spirit all around him. God rest his soul.

Damn, just damn. Hate to hear this news about Phil Harris. Heard he had a stroke, but hoped he’d pull through o.k. Rest in peace, Phil. Dear God, please bless and comfort his family.
To: OldDeckHand
Holy cow. I got to meet him a couple months ago. Phil was my favorite.

Ts & Ps. He was a living pirate, but a cool guy. I’ll miss him. Wonder what they’ll do as a tribute on the show.
