"It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad -- Captain Phil Harris. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end. For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down. We will remember and celebrate that strength. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. -- Jake and Josh Harris"

Damn, very sad...i never missed a single season of the deadliest catch, and phil was one of my favorite captains.
After the go around with the blood clot and telling his sons that he was basically living one day at a time, I had a bad feeling about it...I guess i hate to say that it happened.
My condolences to his sons and family, as well as the crew :salute
-
WOW, it was coming with all that smoking and blood clot. I hope he lived a happy life and enjoy the remanding with his two boys. :salute

RIP. Sad day for his family. I hope his kids take better care of themselves than he did. You can't live on Red bull and cigs for weeks at a time.
Fair winds and calm seas Captain.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.
He always seemed like that guy that you wanted to know, who you knew was a lot of fun, and if he was your friend would be fiercly loyal, sad news indeed
<S> Capt Phil

Yup, he was my favorite captain too. The only one that seemed like a genuine good man at all times. I respect Sig a lot too but he acts like a Captain Ahab way too often. Its been real weird watching this season knowing what was going to happen at some point, and the last few episodes have been emotional to watch.
The part where Freddie gives the sage advice was incredible.

Phil's passing reminds me a lot of the day Dale Earnhardt died. My mother called me, and said she felt like a friend had died, "he was in my living room every weekend". It's the same with Phil, he was in my living room all the time. He was a real man, fishing at 17, and a captain at 31. And Phil bought his half of the Cornelia Marie on his own nickel, too. The definition of the American dream. I've known guys like him, guys who were always pushing, always going somewhere, and usually in a hurry. I think somehow they know that they're not going to be here as long as most of us, and they have to get things done, and get 70 years of living crammed into 50 years.
It's been rough watching it, but Phil told them not to stop filming, no matter what, he wanted everyone to see what was real, and see him as he was, right to the end.
I'm not a fan of Keith at all, I grudgingly respect him. But Phil, Sig, and the Hillstrand brothers are a different story. Their whole philosophy is different than Keith's, all you have to do is look at their turnover rate compared to Keith's. Look at how Sig treats his crew, he took Matt in when it cost them a bunch of money, and he took Jake in when his sister died. Remember Jonathan saving the guy who fell off the other boat? He was watching over that guy, he just knew he'd fall in, and he did. Jonathan had the Time Bandit right there in time to save him, when 4 minutes in the water will kill you. And then how he reacted when they were able to save the guy. He broke down and cried, because he lost the last guy they fished out. I wish Phil had done a book, like Sig and the the Hillstrand brothers did. I have both books, and read them cover to cover the day I got them.

:salute to Captain Phil. I don't catch every episode of Deadliest Catch, but I jump at the chance to see it when its on. My heart really goes out to his two sons. I know that they must be taking this very hard.
:pray

I was always a huge fan of Phil. The whole incident with the clot and the fractured ribs and everything just tore me up. I knew he was getting worse by the minute. I logged into MSN one day and there was the news... Never thought someone I never even knew would have such a great impact.
I love how he taught Josh the secret grounds, too. At least his legacy will live on.
