CephFan Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 John, I was very sad to hear this news. Phil was one of the people who sparked my interest in this genus and I am certain that he will be missed by anyone who was able to read or hear about his field experience. If you have any contact with his family please let them know that there are scattered people on the other side of the world who will miss him. With best wishes, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasbrewer Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'm very sorry to hear that Phil Mann passed away. I had the pleasure of meeting him, a couple of years ago, when he came to the ICPS meeting in the US. Very nice fellow and super knowledgeable about the Cephalotus plant. If it wasn't for him, I would not have the plants I do today. Rest in peace my good friend. ~Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
