Probably the classiest person ever on any forum.

One of the few people who they could post on any topic and make it interesting.

I too received many PMs from RTP and will miss him.

RIP

I only met Phil once when he came down to Balm for a ITS get-together. He was a class act and invited me to spend an evening at Super Booth 1 at Maywood. Never got to take the fine gentleman up on his offer.

RIP RTP. redrose

I remember the stories Phil told me about some of the posters from another Forum.  We had some great laughs.  He didn't always have it easy but he knew how to enjoy life.  He will be missed.

On another forum, I did a couple of undercover photoshop jobs for RTP.  I always looked for his posts. 

RIP RTP

Here is a billiards story that Phil was mentioned in.


And here is a story about just one of his legendary hits, making him famous amongst  horseplayers.

 thumbsup thumbsup

I have known Phil since I started kindergarten, he was a super 9 ball player and Gin rummy player,

I know back in the day he may have gone a week or more without sleep because he was always in

action. When Ritmo was racing he had a new Buick Riviera with his license plate RITMO, I just thought

that was the coolest thing ever. I got to see him within the 6 weeks or so with Val at freddys pizza

in Cicero and you could just see how sick he was, it was very sad. I'm sure if you sat around the

people that knew him throughout his life they would never run out of stories.

Phil was a true Chicago legend, A one of a kind, good bye old friend  redrose

I got see Phil for the last time on June 7th , he did not look at his best and was pissed at his computer , I should have said or helped more than I did.

Rest in pace Phil , you will be missed
