Our condolences to Phil’s family. Although we didn’t see Phil often when we did we enjoyed enthusiastic conversations about family, fire brigade and travel. He was a lovely person and will be sadly missed.
Sincere condolences to Jenny and family. I will miss Griffo’s smile and in depth chats. I’ve worked with Griffo’s at a number of stations and as the co founder of the Front line Tourer’s we did ride together and shared our passion for motorbike riding we enjoyed many laughs together .I certainly can understand why Jenny closed her eyes when accompanying Phil on the bike.We often traveled the same path on our way to or from work the south east freeway (the dreaded Monash).I was unable to attend to day as a result of isolation so my apologies but I am genuinely saddened by Grifo’s sudden passing .Love to the family during this very sad time Whitey #3504.
Rest In Peace Phil
