Je viens juste d'apprendre la triste nouvelle au sujet de Phil. Quel chagrin, quelle perte pour nous. J'ai eu le plaisir de travailler avec Phil dans la boutique de la Monnaie Royale Canadienne pendant deux étés. Phil arrivait toujours au travail en chantant "This Diamond Ring" ou "Lonely Table for One" et en souriant. Il avait un gros coeur et il s'occupait de nous, les étudiants d'été. Phil prenait le temps de nous parler, de nous poser des questions, de venir à nous connaître. C'était toujours un véritable plaisir de travailler à ses côtés. Lorsque des clients difficiles arrivaient à la boutique, Phil n'hésitait pas d'intervenir et de nous épauler. Il était comme notre Papa dans la boutique. Durant les matins tranquilles, Phil nous parlait de ses expériences de vie dans le militaire, de son épouse qu'il aimait tant, de sa famille, du scotch, de sa philosophie de la vie... et il y avait toujours une leçon de tissé la-dedans, afin de nous aider, nous encourager et de nous guider dans la vie. Malgré le fait que six ans ont passés depuis ces étés là, je pense encore à Phil de temps en temps, car il a laissé une empreinte dans ma vie. J'ai beaucoup appris de Phil par son exemple ainsi que dans nos conversations. Phil a influencé et a embelli ma vie. Je ne t'oublierai jamais, Phil. - Posted by: Brigitte Maguet (Summer student at the Mint - mentored by Phil) on: Sep 19, 2016
