Philip Mitchell (5 Jul 1928 - 25 Apr 2016)

I chose this reading as I felt it reflected many of the the principles dad lived his life by.

The world’s greatest need

A little kindness and a little less greed;
A little more giving and a little less need;
A little more smile and a little less frown;
A little less kicking a man when he’s down;
A little more ‘we’ and a little less ‘I’;
a little more laughs and a little less cry;
A little more flowers on the pathway of life;
And fewer on graves at the end of the strife.

C Austin Miles, American writer and worship leader (1868 – 1956)

love Edna Nigel and Dreen

Fond memories of great summer holidays spent in Bournemouth and Anne and Phil's visit's to Hayling. Phil was always in good form and loved keeping up with the Island news.

In loving memory of Philip. We have fond memories of the times spent together in Bournemouth, especially in the summer holidays, and their visits to Hayling. Phil was always good fun and interested in what was happening on Hayling, keeping up to date from the monthly Hayling Islander that Mum sent.

We all have so many fond memories of Phil. He was a true character with a very big heart. Always interested in Hayling Island and kept up with events through the Hayling Islander that I sent each month.
Thinking of you all at this time.
Love Edna, Nigel and Dreen and families

In loving memory of two brothers who both loved the Royal Air Force.

With fond memories of Phil Mitchell. Always in good humour, ever ready to chat about England rugby team and a tireless colleague on the church maintenance committee.

From his many friends on the committee of Concord House Association a tribute to a stalwart supporter Phil Mitchell.
Phil joined the management committee in 1986 and for 18 years, half of which as chairman, worked untiringly to maintain and advance the objects of the Association to provide housing and amenities for fellow Christian Scientists. In addition to initiating many improvements at Concord House, Phil was instrumental in the decision in 1993 to rebuild 2 Montague Rd as a house of 5 individual flats. He oversaw the demolition of the old house and took great interest in every detail of the new construction, which stands in itself a tribute to his selfless commitment to Concord. The Association will remember with much gratitude his hard work, his cheerful good humour and his love for our cause.

Saddened to hear that Philip had passed away. One of life's true gentleman. He will be greatly missed by all.
