I finally got to watch the episode from Deadliest Catch where they had the death of Captain Phil. I knew that he had passed on early in the year as it was at CatchCon where they paid a tribute to him, but I had yet to see the episode about his passing which was shown on Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch (which is one of my favourites shows, the others being Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs and Man vs Wild) It finally came round and it was such a sad episode from his collapse on his fishing vessel, to him being rushed to Anchorage and the surgery, his recovery and finally his relapse and death. They even showed his funeral and I think he was cremated and his ashes put into a Harley Davidson gas tank. It was painted red and has his face on it. Very touching when his sons laid him to rest.
There was even a part where the other boats got a pod and put a bouy with his name and some dedication and put the whole thing into the pod and let it drop into the sea in his remembrance and at the same time the ships bell was sound, very touching.
