Yes, it would be a fitting tribute to a Grand Master and friend to so many. He was one of the best of this age and it would be wonderful to have a permanent record of his work and achievements.

Cheers

This is terrible news. It was just a few months ago I was talking to him about some Spekuloo cookies from Belgium that he always bought me, that I found by accident here in the states.

here are some pics of him and his shop and his then current project from my last visit in September 2010. I can't believe he is gone.

RIP my freind. "Let's have a booze"

Phillipe was as equal a person as his work and we know his work was some of the best, which of course makes him as a person one of the best. Always a pleasure to be around and converse with. He will be missed.

I heard of Philippe's passing was so sad. Not only was he a master engraver but a very nice man. Our sympathy to his family.
