So sorry for your loss Shelly and Philip’s family. I know there is not much one can say to help ease the pain, but please know you are in my thoughts and those of others here at WMP. Sending love and strength your way.
I’m so sorry for your loss Michelle and family.
Philip was a kind and gentle man. He showed determination and such strength that has inspired many people who knew him.
He will not be forgotten.
RIP Philip
Thinking of all Phil’s family at this sad time.
Gareth and Michael – I have such great memories of us all growing up on Dalwhinnie Parade. I’m so sorry to hear the sad news.
Michelle – I’m so sorry for your loss.
Philip was so creative and talented, and I know he’ll be sorely missed.
Hi there,
I was a good friend Phillips and I have only just found out this sad news today. I am not exactly sure how Phillip passed away but I want your Whanau to know that he was much loved by us all and we all have some great memories of him.
Phillip was a lot like me in some ways and probably why we clashed from time to time but we always got over it and I had spoken to him just last year. He was misunderstood in many ways and I think that people would take his comments too seriously when deep down he was just an honest person who was trying to help people. I have so many great memories of Phillip, he was generous and loyal and I wish so much that I could turn back time and know what I did today and could have helped him more. He was always good to me and many others and my deepest condolences goes out to you all.
Shelly you stood by him and should hold your head up high because I know you struggled at times but I know he loved you and always spoke of you highly. Thank you for being there for him through thick and thin. It’s very admirable. I hope to hear from you soon & I am always here if you need to talk.
He could have been an international cricket player if he had stuck at it but he was so full into life that something else would always pop up, that would take his interests (including the ladies) and he always gave everything 100%. I know he will be up there looking over all of us especially Michael & Gareth whom he loved and would have done anything for.
I am sad today and will have a quiet drink tonight in his memory for my good mate and hope he’s up there with his mum who he missed so much. I am sure she is proud of all of you.
Moe mae ra Philip John James Crouch
You will be forever in my heart and mind brother. Aroha nui
