Captain Phil Harris suffered a stroke yesterday at St. Paul Island in Alaska. He was medivacked to Anchorage and is currently at a hospital receiving treatment.
I didn’t say anything earlier, so family can learn from us instead of through the internet. I know anybody who is reading this also cares about Phil, so we thought you should know as well.
Phil is at a good hospital and receiving the best care possible. My mother, Cornelia Marie Devlin and Jake Harris are with him at the hospital. The boat is in the harbor now, but needs to be able to leave in case the ice shifts and moves in.
He was immediately taken to the clinic in St. Paul – the same place he was treated when he had a blood clot two years ago.
As soon as we receive more information about Phil, we will pass it on to you.
Thoughts and prayers sent for Cpt. Phil & his family!
My thoughts will be with Capt. Phil and his family. I hope for a speedy recovery and that he gets to return to his chair as Capt. again. I would be sad if he can never return to the F/V Cornelia Marie but his health has to come first. GET WELL SOON CAPT. PHIL!!!
Our entire family are huge fans of the show. My children and I have learned so much about where our food comes from. We are so appreciative of your bravery. To go out there and bring back such a treat. Now when we have crab to eat, we now think about the men out there fishing. Risking their lives so we can enjoy such a wonderful meal. This is so sad to hear. Our thoughts and prayers go to Capt. Phil and his family. We pray for a speedy recovery and hopefully you can return to the job you love so much. Get well soon…..God Bless…..
Please take good care of him!
All good thoughts and wishes sent with love from Australia. Get well soon Phil.

My prayers are with Phil & family right now. I have had some bad opinions about some of the other capts & about deadliest catch itself, but I always think highly of Capt Phil. He is a true blue guy who’s had more than enough bad luck in the last couple of seasons when I was still watching the show.
May God be with him & Bonnie & the rest of his family at this time.
My thoughts and prayers are with Capt. Phil and his family!

Who are these people praying to….God ?If that was true god wanted him to have a stroke and now by praying he is going to get better…how ridiculaus.Phil i wish you a speedy recovery back to the wheelhouse.
I am so sorry to hear this. Praying for a speedy recovery for Phil.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Phil and the boys and the crew of the CM. Phil is a tough guy and will get through this – he’s too stubborn NOT to
-Christine and Chris
You know, this is not the time or place to get into a debate about faith or the lack of it.
If you have a problem with the people saying “we’re praying for you”, just say “hope you get better soon” & leave it alone.
My prayer’s go out to Capt. Phil and his family. I’m hoping for the best I hope that Capt. Phil has a speedy recovery. Get well soon.

Captain Phil will be back because he is strong willed. Praying that his family support stays strong with Phil.
Praying for a speedy recovery! I always felt we had a lot in common, I too had a blood clot in both lungs and am on blood thinners for life! Take care and do what the Doctors say for once!
We had the pleasure of meeting Phil, in Rosalia, WA at our annual Biker rally. Our prayers go out to his family and crew, we wish you the best and get well soon!
get well soon Phil. thinking of you and the boys at this time..
My family just love you Phil! Get well soon and we will be praying for you and your family.
maybe his body is telling him something
maybe he should take it easy and retire
i hope he recovers soon
Get well soon you tough ‘ol SOB.
To all of you who are saying that Phill should slow down or even retire, you’ve clearly never had a passion in life.
This isn’t work for Phil, this is his one true love. Standing on the dock watching the CM pull away under the watch of Murray when he had his clot was probably the hardest thing he has done in his life.
Phil stated in one of the shows that he “always though I’d die at sea”. Of course he would. Where else would anyone want to pass away but a place they love with people they love?
Captain Phil is a seaman. To not be at sea and to “slow down” or “retire” would surely kill him a lot faster than any medical issue.
Fish on you ‘ol salty dog, fish on.
My prayers are with you, your family and close friends.
I can’t think of watching your show without you at the helm Phil.
Speedy recoverly.
God has plans for all of us. Clearly His plan for you today is to rest, get well and return to your real love at sea.
Let family and friends care for you for a change. Take it easy and remember the sea will always be there, you my friend may not.
All my love and certainty you will be okay, positive thoughts for you.
It’s always a joy to watch Phil, his sons and crew of the Cornelia Marie.
Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to Phil for a speedy recovery.
My prayers are with you Phil, plus you can’t ride the Harley in your grave so take good care of yourself. Fight on!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Captain Phil…Get well soon!
we pray for you and your family
May God protect and watch over you and your family while you heal. You are strong, Phil. Keep fighting and know you are loved, k?
Godspeed Captain Phil, Our Thoughts and Prayers are with You & Yours.

Phil,
First the blood clot.Now,a stroke? My friend you need to stop provideing “health issue” drama on the show and just go back to barking at Jake and Josh! On a seriouse note: prayers sent up for you and the Cornelia Marie family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Phil, his doctors, and his family. We know he hasn’t been well since the blood clot and hope that he will get through this and be back with the boys soon.
Dear Phil:
All my best thoughts and hopes go to my favorite Deadliest Catch character, father, friend, common sense philosopher, and, of course, captain.
There is no one else in the fleet I would entrust as much as you to lead me to safe harbor.
I place faith in the Fates that there is enough Divine in the universe that now it is your turn to be delivered from turbulent seas to a place of calm and peace once again.
Hang in there, old lion. Your young cubs still need you.
Get well captain phil and hang in there .

Pots are all prepped and ready to splash. Each greenhorn and veteran all hopping for cash.
With room in the hold and crab farts in the air.
Line in the block, o’ver the side the crew stares.
For love or for money, the story’s the same.
The pain. The exhaustion.
It’s all part of the game.
The weather, the waves
and ice take their toll.
White water on deck
as she take a big roll.
The nights are all long,
and the breaks are too few.
It’s a monumental effort
just to motivate the crew.
With the last pot aboard and stacked up on high, the captain and crew let out a great sigh.
The holds are all plugged
and scuppers are awash
with no one on deck,
it’s a lonely wheel watch.
With 12 hours to run, there’s still work to be done.
I know you’re all tired,
but who said this was fun!!
When finally the harbor and factory looms near,
the crew is now resting after stowing the gear.
At dockside the buyer wants to unload in great haste,
yet the grizzled old captain reminds him – there will be no waste.
Now the last brailer’s been weighed, and the crew has been paid.
And the captain critiques the trip he just made.
At the Elbowroom bar, they compare each other’s scars, and think of their families who are a far, a far… and they ponder…
Whether for money or glory
or not for good reason,
The consensus is the same -
I’ll be here next season.
Get well soon Capt. Phil
Love you Phil, we hope you get well soon.
Get well soon Phil. You have tons of friends pulling for you.
God bless you Captain Phil. You’re a tuff old cuss, speedy recovery, be back soon in that big chair where you belong. My hubby and I have been watching you guys a long time. You’re like family now. We’re praying for you.

I felt sick to my stomach when I heard the news of Phil’s stroke. Mate you have been through a lot and as the saying goes what does not kill you makes you stonger, but you also have to use wisdom. Take an extended break to recover properly so that you can run around with your grandchildren when they arrive as I am sure they will. Your sons and the others in your crew will take up your mantle. Take care, I will be sending a few heaven bond for ya mate. Bless ya heaps
Ive watched your show since day one. I dont have a favorite boat but Phil is my favorite. Watching you just make me feel like there still some values for our boys in the world. PLEASE get better for us and your kids

The Harris clan is mad up of tough old sea dogs. . .Jake and Josh: remember you are not on the boat and you don’t have to take any more than you can handle from your Dad. For the family: Look to the future and imagine the Captain back with his boat yet again. Phil, you just concentrate on relaxing for real and healing well. I am lighting a candle for you today.
Hope everything goes OK. From Puerto Rico.
Do you think smoking 480 cigarettes a day had anything to do with it? Get well Phil and hopefully your kids will comprehend the dangers of smoking.
Dear Captian Phil, We are rooting for you! Sending oodles of prayers and bunches of hugs. We all know there is no one like, “Our Capt. Phil”. Your guts, honesty, steadfast honour will get you thru this. Stay Tuff & Get Well Sooner than later. God Bless You and your family.
Big Love from The Colorado Clan: Cecelia, Ben, Beatrice, Rebeka, Sophia.

Get well soon Capt. Phil! Thinking of you in NJ.
You know I normally check this site often but I haven’t gotten the chance, and then when I go to check my email it’s right there on aol. This is rough but I have to say Phil has to be the toughest old guy around, and is probably asking for cigs and asking when he can get back to work already. I hope you have a fast and safe recovery, I know ICU sucks my bros there right now. We’re there with you and your in our prayers.
May God bless Capt Phil and his family. Hoping for a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing you back out there bringinh us many more exciting moments and laughs.
Please know that the hearts and prayers are with Phil and the family from us. He’s had enough to deal with and is due for something good about now. God bless Phil, the family and crew. We will be waiting for some GOOD news.

“Deadliest Catch” is one of the few shows my husband and I both enjoy watching. We wish you a speedy recovery and will keep you in our prayers. For God’s sake, quit smoking. Being an ex-smoker myself, I know it’s not easy, but I guarantee you will feel so much better.

Although this is kind of surreal for you and you’re family being involved on a TV show that has grown with all of us. Believe me when I say you’re family has become part of ours. We wish you a speedy recovery not for the reason of getting back on the show but to be there for your boys. Take Care of yourself Captain Phil! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and you’re family.
I hope you get better soon Captain Phil. my prayers are with you buddy.
Josh and Jake,
Take care of your dad and yourselves! Love you and think POSITIVE! Dad is way too feisty to go anywhere.

Hang in there Phil. And when you get out, let’s make some changes so you live a long and healthy life. We’re all pulling for you and send our best to the boys.
Phil – we are all praying for you to have a full and complete recovery. Get well soon!
My best to Cap’n Phil and his family. When I heard the news a captain had a medical problem, I knew it had to be Cap’n Phil. For those of you who do not know about strokes, there are two types:
1. Blockage in a vessel (a blockage keeps blood and oxygen from reaching brain tissue) and
2. Hemorrhagic (vascular bleeding that competes with the brain for space within the skull, which increases pressure on brain). While both effect the brain, the type of stroke and area of the brain effected will determine the outcome. If cap’n Phil underwent surgery to rectify the problem, he may had a vascular bleed. Ether way, he, his family and the staff caring for him will need all our prayers. It is fortunate he was training his sons, they may have to carry on in his stead.
Good morning Phil,We hope you’re feeling much better. First of all we would like to say how much we enjoy watching you and the others on Deadliest Catch. The tremendous risks you men take every day out there just to feed the world and care for your own families,you are truly “Captains Courageous”. My wife and I hope you will be well and back at what you love soon. All the Best.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Lots of us Arizonans watch the show and we enjoy talking about all of your adventures, especially the practical jokes you play on each other, when we’re around the water cooler. We’re broken-hearted to hear about what the Harris family is going through right now. We are anxiously awaiting good news about dad. Our prayers and love to the family at this difficult time.
Hang in there Phil. Millions of people are sending their prayers and thoughts to you and your family, as my family is.
With those prayers and the strength of your loving family, you’ll be out of this in no time.
Oh my god. We adore you Phil,and we know your tough spirit will get you through this. Josh and Jake, be strong as we know you are. Millions of prayers are going out for you and your family. XO
Szybko wracaj do zdrowia Phil. Mam nadzieję, że jeszcze Cię zobaczymy za sterami Cornelii Marie.
Take care Capitan Phil. Our prayers are with you.
This is just totally unexpected. Never in a million years did i think that PHIL would be stricken w/ a stroke, grabber, heart disease, pulmonary embolism, kidney disease. Seemed like only yesterday it was documented in a DC episode that his blood pressure was reported to be a stellar 195/125 or something in that range. Albeit sad – the guy was a ticking bomb!
Phil, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you will be up and around and back to sea soon. God Bless!
You are all in our thoughts and prays, we all know Phil is a very strong and hearty man and will most likly be telling his story at the Elbow Room before we know it. Lots of love to all of you.
Phil-you and your family are in our prayers.
Skip,
I am PRAYING very hard for you and your family, in the hopes you’ll once man the wheelhouse again. I’m landlocked now, but I’d be there for you if I could. Rest easy, & let the kids handle things for `ya. God Bless you all.
Capt. Phil,
My family and I send you our prayers for a speedy recovery. Please get some well deserved rest.
Our thoughts also go out to the family and crew as they navigate the waters without their skipper.
Captain Phil and family
Hang in there, our prayers are with you!
Captain Phil, Jake, Josh and your family and crew.
I’m very sorry to hear the news. I am keeping you all in my prayers and my thoughts.
Stay strong and keep the Faith!

You’re the reason I watch the show, Capt. Phil. You are an anazing man with a lot of heart! I know you’re going to get through this with all the fight and gusto of a true fisherman, (or in your case, a “Crabber”)
My prayers are with you and your family always.
Now, enough loafing and get your ass out of that bed! wE NEED YOU AND LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!
My prayers are with you and your family Phil, hang in there.

We, too, are greatly saddened by the news of Friday’s events & by what Captain Phil and his crew are going through. Best wishes for a full, speedy recovery! Our thoughts, love and prayers are with the Harris family and Captain Phil’s crew.
Capt. Phil and his family are in our prayers……..
Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Harris family. Stay strong, Phil! Your fans love you!
As a fan of the show since it has come out I was shocked when I saw the headline of “Deadliest Catch Captain had stroke.” My heart sank I was was hoping it wouldn’t say it was Phil. I am sending love and prayers to the Harris family and the shipmates on the Cornelia Marie. Stay strong Phil and God bless!
I was shocked when I saw the news about Phil. I had just done a tv marathon of the deadliest catch this past weekend and have been a big fan of the show since it started. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. May God be with you all
Cpt. Phil is a cursty old curmudgeon and will beat this!
Capt. Phil you are my favorite on the show! I hope you make a speedy recovery! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family my friend! Get well soon!

Dear Phil,
I have been watching this show for many seasons and sometimes it seems that you, your (handsome) boys and your amazing crew are invincible with all that goes on around your boat day in and day out. You have a great soul and wish you nothing but the best of health. Portland Maine loves you!
My thoughts and prayers go out to Capt. Phil and the Harris family… Wishing a speedy recovery!
Dear Phil,
I am keeping Captain Phil in my prayers and hope that everything goes well. He is my favorite Captain on Deadliest Catch and hope that he will be okay. Take care of each other and your Dad.
Phil, we’ve been fans for years and never miss an episode. My whole family is praying for your quick recovery and your family is in our prayers as well.
God Bless!
we love you phil and our prayers are with you and your family.
My heart goes out to Captain Phil and his family. He and his family, both by blood and by sea, are all in my thoughts and I hope he has a complete, full and speedy recovery.
capt. phil you and your family are in my prayers and in my heart.I pray for the good lord to take care of you in this time of need and to give you strenght for the days that lay ahead for you and your family. I first saw the show in 2008 and fell in love with all you guys. I never gave much thought about how the food I enjoyed so much cost others until I saw the show and man was I blown away. You guys risk everything home,health and lives. It seems THANK YOU is not enough,But THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and May God always Keep you all in his arms. God speed capt. phil until we see you again up and about. lots of love!!!! sf
Get better soon!
We are all praying for your speedy recovery and send love and support to you and your family.
NOT PHIL! Hasnt he been through enough?? Im praying for a strong and fast recovery and I am wishing you all the best.
Dear Phil,
On a regular basis you deal with adversity, the likes of which most of us can only imagine.
Seas as high as your wheelhouse, winds blowing at unimaginable speeds, ice that tries to roll you and the catch that tries to avoid you.
You have met every one of those challenges along the way, and now, as you embark on yet another challenge, remember to keep your resolve, it’s what has gotten you to this point, and it’s what will get you through this.
Jake & Josh, my prayers for you both are for you to have the strength to continue while your hearts are distracted. This will be your challenge, and, like your dad has for so long, I’m sure you both will meet that challenge.
Phil, your new challenge, that of recovery, pretty much sucks. It’ll be frustrating & frightening all at once. Always remember though, when you fight all of your life, really, what’s the big deal about just another fight?
You CAN do this!!!!!!
Godspeed Phil………….

Phil
Give up the smokes and the red bull, man! Your job isn’t killing you – you’re doing it to yourself. And, your sons are watching. I’d like to see the series include a season w/ all the captains “on the patch” – the crew thinks it’s tough now…. WOW THAT would be something to watch. Probably not a lot of good audio though! GODSPEED – Your fans love you!
Phil,
Gods Blessings and Love. We pray that you will recover quickly. You and your family are in our prayers. We await for further news.
Josh, Jake, Capt Phil …all in my prayers
Hang in there Phil , I am praying for you. You have always been my favorite captain. know I will be thinking about you and waiting for your return to the deadliest catch.
As a fan of Deadliest Catch, I have been concerned for a long time about the pace and less than healty habits of some of the captains and crews. Hopefully, this will be a wake up call for all to try to take better care of themselves. We know it is a demanding, physical job on the boats, but guys, you have a lot of people who love you depend on you and wish you the very best. God speed, Phil. Hopefully, you’ll make a speedy and full recovery.
To Capt. Phil,
Best Wishes for a speedy recovery. Saying many prayers for you and your recovery.
To Josh and Jake,
My heart goes out to you both. You are both so strong and your faith and strength will help you through this tough time. Keep your heads held high, your dad is a tough guy with a fighting spirit.
To the crew of the Cornelia Marie,
Keep fishing guys. I cannot imagine how hard this news is for you, especially after everything from last season. You all have proven that you are an awesome crew. Wishing you good weather and full pots.

take care of yourself, best regards 4 fishermen far up in the north sea:O)
I am so sad to hear about phil having a stroke. I went to nail school with his ex-wife 10 years ago and remember phil and loving his personality. I just want say to his sons that your in my prayers and i know what you are going through, my father had a stroke valentines day last year right in front of me, and it was the worst time of my life. But like Phil, my dad is stubborn and never gave up, and is doing well. You are all in my prayers. God Bless you all.
Our family has been long time fans of the show. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Harris family. Get well soon Phil.
Phil… you are scaring us all again. First your blood clots last year and now this. Please, please take care of yourself. Your boys need you and it was so hard to watch them still fish and try and hold it together why you were in the hospital last year. They need you. You can always fish, and always ride your Harley but family is what keeps us going. We hope you have a speedy recovery and get back to living life they way you can enjoy it. Best wishes… and we are pulling for you !!
Captain Phil and the family are in my prayers. Hang in there and keep fighting. Get well soon!!
As fellow fishermen off the Ca. north coast. We hope for a speedy recovery. As we feel Phil is the best Captain on the seas and the only one my hubby would trust to go out with (if he ever got the chance) We meet the Harris family this past year in Ca. And I can say, it was a true pleasure to talk with him and his sons. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Phil,
You get stronger, get well. You can do this. All you have to do is believe. I believe, and so does your family. We all want you around for a LONG time to come!
Jake and Josh, STOP DRINKING RED BULL! LOL You guys hang in there with your family. You all have the love and support of millions of people from around the world, let those thoughts and prayers lift you when you are down. You aren’t alone.

Captain Phil,
You are legend in our family. We heard the news about you on February second, Groundhog’s Day. Puxatawney Phil saw his shadow: six more weeks of winter. We heard you were in peril. To come out of this winter: throw all the cigarettes away! Throw them into the ocean if you must! And get well soon, says our youngest New Yorker, ten years old. He also says:
THE CORNELIA MARIE IS MY FAVORITE BOAT!
Best, Two in New York who love your bringing the ocean to us.

My husband and I pray everyday for Captain Phil to recover. He is a tough guy and has great kids,Josh and Jake need their dad, we know he has the will to pull through this. To all the Corneila family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love and prayers Captain Phil and family.
When I heard this morning about Captain Phil’s stroke, I felt it had happened to a good friend. My prayers are with him and his family, for strength in the days ahead and for comfort during a time that can be full of uncertainty.
Get well Phil,won’t be the same witout you as Captain of the Cornelia Marie.Love the show never try not to miss it,like to know what goes into catching my favorite…Alaskan King Crab.
Hi! I just found out about Phil Harris’ stroke after reading an article on realitytvworld.com tonite. WOW!!! What a shock! I know that this news has had to rock the whole crab fleet out there in the Bering Sea fishing for opies right now. I have been a fan of Deadliest Catch since year one, and Phil has been one of my favorite captains. He is a nut, has great sense of humor, and is very good at what he does! We’ll all miss seeing him on his boat, Cornelia Marie, when Deadliest Catch comes back later this year.
Jake and Josh, I will definitely be praying for you and the rest of your family, and pray for your dad’s full recovery from this stroke. I’m also praying that this stroke is not severe, and his recovery and rehab will not take too long. You all stay safe out there, get as many crabs as you can get, and do this for your dad, Phil! He has always been proud of you two, so make him proud and bring in a record catch this year! I’m glad that Phil has come out of his induced coma and making some progress on movements. That is a pretty good sign of the start of recovering from the stroke.
Will keep you all in my prayers!
Chari Mercier
St. Pete, FL
PS: Please keep us updated on his recovery and any effects that the stroke has done in Phil, ok? We’re all interested in his progress!
My thoughts and prayers are with the Harris family, hoping Phil will fully recover. As a nurse, I fear his health issues may keep him from his career he so loves, We all love to share in his life and career as well by watching the show. I have also met Phil and his sons, it was more than awsome, hearing fishing stories and much more, in Las Vegas. Get well soon, we need and love you!!!
Speedy Recovery Captain Phil
You have more friends out here pulling and praying for you than you’ll ever know.
God Speed
God speed Captain Phil – wishing you well. You and your family are in my prayers.
You’ll be up and about real soon.
From Sunny South Africa
I hope that Captain Phil is doing well. We wish him and his family all the best. Love the show. Watch it every week when new shows start. I have to say though that I would not go out on a boat in seas like that to do that job. My knees hurt while watching just sitting in my chair.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Captian Phil. I wish you a speedy recovery and lots of rest. Leave the boat in capible hands and take some time off.
We wish you a fast recovery, The boat and crew need you as well as all of us who watch you Crabbing, We have never met but it seems we know you and your kids, best wishes
Ed and Genelle and Family
Good luck Capt Phil. Hoping and praying for a full recovery.
God Bless
I am praying for you and the entire family. Keep yur head up, you’ll be better before you know it!!!!

To our favorite Captain on Deadliest catch. We wish only the best for you. the show will not be the same without you. You are so much like my dad who was a commerical fisherman in Key West Fl. He was on my brother and I like you are on Jake and Josh…. We both turned out ok and so have they. I wish you a very speedy recovery and wish your family the best too….. The Dinardo Family. ( Apopka Fl)
Peace & blessings from the Taylor household to the Harris family during this stormy time.. May God keep you safe in the hollow of His hand; may the doctors and nurses and all those who minister to Phil in this time of sickness be richly blessed; and may Cap’n Phil have a happy ending to these troubles.. in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Prayers and best wishes going out to Phil and the family from our family in Michigan
To Capt.Phil The Harris Boys and Cornelia Marie Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am sure Phil will pull through this like the trooper he is.I had a TIA in Sept. 2006 and I got back everything. Capt. Phil is alot more stronger and determined than I am so I know he will be fine especially with all the support he has.
Take Care!
Phil, Josh and Jake, My father is a long time member of the Bristol Bay Salmon fleet where both my brother and I spent many years fishing with him. He had a stroke on the same day so we know exactly what you are going through. These guys are made out of some true grit and will make it through to see their grandkids sliding around on deck some day. GOOD luck to you and your recovery Phil.
It has greatly saddened us to hear the news of your surgery. All the members of our household wish you a speedy recovery. As a mother of a son, I have enjoyed watching your sons. It is as if they are my sons, too. I wish you and yours the very best.
To Captain Phil and the whole Harris family… You are all in my prayers for strength and a speedy recovery.
Go be with you and your family through this difficult time.
Please hurry back to the wheelhouse. Deadliest Catch needs you!!
Captain Phil ~
Hang in there, buddy! I hope you’ll be with us for many years to come – that is my prayer for you and your beautiful family — may you live a long, happy life and enjoy your grandchildren. By God’s grace you got well last time and you can do it again. We’re all pulling for you!
Your prayer warrior and fan,
Sharie
Dear Sirs:
From Figueres, the capital of the territory called the Empordà, Girona province, belonging to Catalonia, a region of Spain, we wish a speedy recovery and Capt. Phil can still enjoy their work.
This is a touching the Mediterranean Sea region hit by strong winds that can reach gusts of 200 / 220 kilometers / hour, so we understand their working conditions.
We look forward to receiving good news.
Sincerely.
Teodoro Marcos, manager of Taverna Can Teo.

PD – Greetings from our employees and customers, who are also fans of his work.
So sorry for your loss. He was my fave skipper on the show and a fascinating fellow in his own right.
Josh, Jake & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. He will be missed dearly by all. May you keep his memory alive in your hearts.
May the Lord wrap you in arms at this time. God Bless you.
I am sorry to hear of Captain Phil Harris’s passing. As fans of the Cornelia Marie crew we admired the skippers skill as well as his courage to perform the work he loved so dearly. God bless Captain Harris, you will be missed by people you never knew.
Fair Winds and Following Seas
Fair winds and following seas
Ripples shimmer in sunsets golden
Cast your eyes to the heavens
Arise the first star of the night
A light shines bright when darkness contrasts
Earth in blue and blue of sky
When silenced falls after the bell
Soft sounds of waves upon the shore
When called to sail the seas of heaven
No longer bound to earthly soil
Abide in rest, no more to toil
The Captains table welcomes thee
Fair winds and following seas
My condolences to Captain Phil’s Family, Crew and Close Friends. Sending prayers your way. May the road ahead of you, not be difficult. May you find some peace in knowing that your loved one is now in a place with no pain or worries.
Love from my Family to yours.
I’m so saddened to hear of Phils passing. He was my most favorite skipper, I feel so lucky to have met him with Jake, Josh and Johnathon in Vegas. He was as great as he was on the show, so candid, funny and just an all around sweet man. I feel for Jake and Josh as well as his other kids, I too have lost a parent, so young. My mom was 38, she too passed from a massive stroke she could not recover from and I was only 21, so young and had to make the choice to “unplug” her as she wouldn’t have wanted to live that way. My thoughts are with the Harris family, lots of love and hugs on this sad day.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Harris family and friends. You will be missed Captain Phil.
So sorry for your loss. Captain Phil was a wonderful man. I loved watching the show with him and the entire Cornelia Marie family. May you find peace in the days to come.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to you boys. I lost my mom when I was 28 years old.
I have so enjoyed “getting to know your dad and family” through the Deadliest Catch show. Your dad bravely fought through some really tough things that last couple years. He will be missed. The hard work of your industry never ceases to amaze me. I sure think of all of you guys from the show every time I put a bite of crab in my mouth!
May God bless you and give you his peace and comfort.
I have been on St George Island and have watched the fishing boats first hand before they were made famous by the Discovery Channel. I know the hardships and dangers these men faced and I applaud their bravery. Capt Harris will be fishing calmer waters now, Gods speed and safe harbor.
Hey Josh and Jake, hang in there you guys. I feel for your loss of your Dad. Now go and DO All that he thought you both. Keep his legacy going. His sense of humor was the best. God bless your Mother and all of you. With love Cel.
May Phil have fun sailing the never ending ocean in Heaven.. He will be missed.
Deepest sympathy to Jake and Josh and the rest of your family; losing a loved one is tough, but losing it in public is tougher. Find and use the strength that your dad so demonstrated on the show and I am sure in real life to get you through these difficult days. His personality was a great reason to watch the show. Make each day count!!! Best wishes.
My wife and I are very sad to hear about Captiain Phil, may he fish in peace.
Our condolences to his sons, make your father proud boys and God Bless you both.
i am so sorry for your lose. We love your dad like he was a family member. I will charish the shirt i have with your boat on it.
Your fans are here for you.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Harris family in hopes that they will be able to make it thru this w.hole ordeal. Most of the time when i hear of a celebrity dieing it does not affect me in any way. But i have to say with Phils unfortunate death i am experiencing great sadness with his death. he was a kind and considered man who always told it like it was, that’s why i identified with him so much.he was a great man and some one any person would of loved to call dad.Rest in peace Phil we all love you and we miss you terribly.
Josh, Jake, Family
I am very sorry for your loss. I personally never met Capt. Phil but enjoyed watching him on Deadliest Catch. He was a great Father, Captain, and he loved to fish. May God be with all who loved him. He will deeply be missed. Josh & Jake your father will be with you forever stay strong and may god be with you on land and at sea.
My whole family is so sorry for your loss of Capt. Phil. Every season, we looked forward to watching Deadliest Catch and admiring what all of you do. Josh & Jake….I also have lost my Dad 7 months ago, so I feel your pain. It is never easy to lose a parent. Please know that we all are thinking of you both, along with the crew of Cornelia Marie. Know in your heart that people will be there for you, and your “Dad” will be your angel looking down on you.
Be safe….
From my family to all of yours,We are truly sorry for ya’lls loose.Capt.Phil was a brave and strong man.I lost my dad so I know what your family is going through,but one thing you should know is Capt.Phil will always be with all of you.I never had the opportunity to met your dad,but I’m sure I’m a lessor man for it.Our family has watched show from the beginning,my grandfather was a fisherman in Virginia after he retired from the Navy.The one show I remember the most was when Jake and Capt.Phil were arguing about something and Capt.Phil said now you know why lions eat their young.I have 2 boys and a girl so I can relate.Funny as hell!Took me years to figure out the reason parents fuss at us is that they love us.Capt.Phil seemed like a wise and brave man,looks like Josh and Jake are growing into the man he was.Remember your dad and take heart in what he was trying to teach you,otherwise all of ya’lls time from family and sacrifice would’ve been in vain.God Bless All Of You and May God Look After Ya’lls Father As He Has All These Years At Sea.I hope Cornilia Marie sails on forever and the Harris family does too.
Capt Phil Harris was and is my favorite capt of the fleet.He reminds me of my uncle who passed last march.
I didn’t not know Capt Harris personal,but I’m still saddened for his passing and your family’s lose!
No words can change these sad feeling you re family feels.but you should know that not many men can make million’s turn on their TVs every week just to watch them work.He was one of the reasons the show is such a big hit.
Best regards to you and your family
Dear Jake and Josh,
So sorry to hear about the death of you father.
I don’t know you, or Capt. Phil, but my eyes filled with tears at his
passing last night.
I have watched your adventures for many years now. My brother and I
shared about the show, and what a dangerous life it can be at sea. I
had no idea how hard it was, and also rewarding.
I watch the show, Deadliest Catch every week here in Minnesota
My brother recently died suddenly of cancer, July of last year, so I
feel your pain.He was 65.
My brother, Mike Finley was a retired Master Chief Petty Officer,
U.S.N., with 30 years at sea. He was buried at sea, as was his last
wish. I am including The poem, *Sea Fever * that he loved, that I
read at his sea burial, Astoria, Oregon. May it give you comfort , in
reading it
Know that Capt. Phil, will be deep in my prayers, your family also.
Capt. Phil, may you have Fair Winds, and Following Seas, till you
reach heavens shore!
God Bless you Jake and Josh,
Yours Aye
Judith
“Sea Fever”
by John Masefield
I must go down to the seas again
to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship
and a star to steer her by.
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking.
And a gray mist on the sea’s face,
and a gray dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again
for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call,
that may not be denied
And all I ask is a windy day
with the white cloud’s flying
And the flung spray and the blown spume
and the sea gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again
to the vagrant gypsy life
to the gull’s wag and the whale’s way,
where the wind’s like a whetted knife.
And all I ask is a merry yarn
from a laughing fellow rover
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream
when the long trick’s over.
Dear Harris family, I am very sorry for your loss. At the time I heard of his death I was oddly enough watching the Gardian on DVD. I guess the Bering Sea now truly has one. With many prayers and a heavy heart….The Johnson’s
We are so sorry to hear about your Dad. We’ve watched all of you on Deadliest Catch and have a profound respect for your work and the risks you take every day. We don’t know him like you knew him, but we feel like we got a little piece of him every week. I loved his sense of humor, his determination, and I can see that he loved you both so much. Carry on, and know that his heart, that was so huge, is with you still and will be always.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.I know how you are feeling I lost my mother 5 years ago and just recently on January 25th lost my father,a day after his 70th birthday.As said many times before the Bering Sea will never be the same,but everytime you go out there he will be watching down over you.You have without a doubt made him proud and I am sure you both will continue to do so.

This just devestates me! I cant believe Captain Phil is gone. I have never met him or the crew but I feel like they are part of my family.
Jake and Josh, Your father was way to young to be dieing and I feel your pain!
All a father ever wants is for his children to learn from his mistakes.
It is time for you boys to pick up the peices and take the helm. My heart goes to you and your family.
Your father will be missed dearly in this household.
My whole family is deeply saddned to hear this news.We loved watching deadliest catch,and Phil and his boys and crew were always our faviorites.Carry on,for your dad!!He would be so proud….Kalogeras family from Long Island NY

I was so sad to hear my prayers went unanswered, and Phil returnred to the Lord. Then, after thinking about it is, he is now keeping watch and protecting all the fleets, a job he would love.
Jake and Josh,
I’m sorry to learn the loss of your father. May his memory be eternal!
I’ve enjoyed watching the Discovery Channel series of crab fishing in Alaska and got the pleasure of meeting Capt Phil last fall in Vancouver Wa.
He left a wonderful legacy for you, his sons.
All of you are in my prayers.

May you rest in peace, Capt Phil. Prayers are with his family and friends. You will be missed Capt.
I wish to express my deepest sympathies to the family of Capt. Phil Harris. May he rest in peace. I will miss his gruff voice and unique personality on “Deadliest Catch.” From the Christian Lierly family, Moberly, Missouri.
My deepest sympathies to the family od Capt. Phil Harris. I have been a viewer of his show since the start and have allways been amazed what you guys do. Capt. Phil was by far the biggest personality of the fleet. I will greatly miss seeing him in the Captains chair.
Rolf, San Antonio,TX.
There is a big lump in my throat since hearing the news… Capt. Phil was a courageous man who knew crab fishing like no other. I watched him take huge chances and also reap big rewards on the show. He will be missed. Josh and Jake…You have learned from your father and I know you will carry on and steer the Cornelia Marie to the full pots of crab.
Cornelia Marie,
I’m sorry to hear of Phil’s passing. I so enjoyed the “Deadliest Catch” and feel like those who watched the show got to know Phil and all the Captains and crew on the show.
Take care Harris family.
I’m vary deeply saddened by the loss of Phil. Boys do your best & remember that he was prod of you two! Prayers sent your way! Take care & god bless!

Dear Josh. Jake and family,
My heart is broken over the loss of an admiral soul. May your higher power help
you find peace. Losing a father devistating shock; as with any parent. I
may not had know your father personally but watching the “Deadliest Catch” faithfully, your family and crew became my crew also. Phil was humorous and a great Captain. Remember Jake; you now know has to pull a bad tooth (ha,ha). God bless and remember that your dad shall always bring fair winds and guidance.
Respectfully,
Catherine Linde
Jake and Josh,
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. Although I never met him I can say that I will miss him and am truly saddened to hear this news. I spent many hours watching him on Deadliest Catch. I loved his wry sense of humor and the way he looked at life. His witty comments always made me smile and it was so evident how much he loved his kids. He was a tough guy who clearly had a kind heart. I loved that episode where he talked about how he liked to build tiny birdhouses, who would ever expect that. I hope that you guys realize how much your dad’s amazing presence touched so many lives around the world and how many people loved Captain Phil. The world mourns with you. I hope your father’s strength will bring you comfort in this time.
-Allison
keep your heads up guys. thoughts and are with you all

I am trully sorry for your loss. My family, and many I knew absolutely loved your father from the show.He was one of a kind, and seemed truly genuine.He was my favorite, and my prayers are with you.A life cut way too short.
I am deeply saddened to hear about the loss of my favorite Deadly Catch Captain. Captain Phil appeared to be a wonderful fisherman and father. My condolences go out to his family!
From The Netherlands we wish to express our deepest sympathy to Josh and Jake with the loss of their Dad.
For many hours the deathliest catch kept us locked to our television and your father Phil have made a huge memory with his raw talking, behaving and managing his ship, but always with a heart of gold.
We hope that his love for you, Josh and Jake, give you strenght to deal with this loss and we hope that God will guide you both with or without the Cornelia Marie.
God bless you!
Regards,
Henny de Jager
he was overweight, smoked like a chimmney and did not exercise.
what do you expect?
Our hearts are broken. Our prayers go out to Josh & Jake and all Cap’t Phil’s family & friends.
Be strong, young men, for your father’s sake. Although his voyage on earth has ended he will forever travel in the hearts and souls of so many who loved and admired him. He will be missed.
Josh, Jake and the Harris family,
I am saddened by this news. I usually am no fan of television but I got hooked on Deadliest Catch. Although I never knew your dad I felt like I did by watching the show. He was genuine and seemed like a good soul.
I just lost my mother a couple months ago and understand how you must be feeling right now. Ever since she died I feel like she is with me, by my side like she never left. Grief has turned to comfort. It will for you too.
Peace
I am so sorry for the loss you have suffered. I know how you feel for I lost may father a few years ago from heart problems. there is just no words to express the sadness that everyone feels at this time. just remember that even though he is in Heaven, he will never be forgotten. I wish your family well and hope that your sadness can soon turn into happy memories.
All my Prayers and thoughts to you.

My condolences go out to you and your family. Phil will be truly missed. Just know that he is in no pain now and that he is looking down on both of you smiling.
My deepest sympathies to Jake, Josh, and Captain Phil’s family and crew. I’ve been a fan of Deadliest catch since the first episode and feel as though I have lost a family member. Rest in peace Captain Phil.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Capt. Phil seemed like a genuine guy with the heart of a lion. Keep your memories close and God Bless.

i am appalled at the comment made by moe green! what a thing to say during a time of tragic loss! captain phil will be missed by too many to count myself included i am saddend to think someone could have such gull to actually post such horrible words during such a time.you should be ashamed at yourself!my heart goes out to the family and friends of captain phil you are all in my thoughts and prayers and im sure i speak for all the fishing community as well in our small town of newport oregon when i say your all in there thoughts and prayers as well.
Josh Jake and the cornelia marie crew,
My deepest sympathies go out to you all.
J and J losing my parents I know the pain you are feeling and it will take time it will pass but you will never forget. My daughter and I would watch the show waiting to see what phil would do or say next.I hope you know he will be out there with you thats what he loves you and fishing. Take care
I’m sorry for your loss. I met him last year and loved his personality. He was the reason I watched the show.
This is quite a shock. We knew he had a stroke and had been following the progress up til a few days ago. We truly enjoyed watching him n the crew. He was very tough n tender at the same time n it doesnt get any better than that. We only got to see him on tv, but I would dare bet that any person whose path was crossed by him was very blessed. As we watch the new season, I will have my box of kleenex right by my side. Our prayers n thoughts go out to all his family, friends, n crew. We love you all n stay strong.
To the family and friends of the Cornelia Marie you have my deepest sympathies. I was very shocked when i first heard the news of Captain Phil. The show will not be the same without him.
Jake & Josh,
My husband and I are so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. So shocked when I saw it on the news on Wed.
We have been watching the show for years and admired your Dad for what he has been going through these past months.
Rest in Peace Captain!!
Good luck to the both of you and be careful
Jake & Josh,
My fondest memory of your Dad was a commercial he shot for Mother’s Day. With a frame of flowers around his head, and his smiling face and those words of compassion…”Happy F***ing Mother’s Day” That just says it all! When I saw the commercial my family busted out laughing! That was just so “Capt. Phil”. May he rest in peace, and may you know how much he loved you both! God Bless you on your journey!

ALSO TO THE CREW YOU LOST A GREAT CAPT. AND FRIEND!!! GOD BLESS THE CORELIA MERIE AND CREW AND ALSO THE FLEET STAY SAFE!!! REST IN PEACE CAPT. PHIL
I am so saddened by Captain Phil’s death. I can not imagine what the boys, family & friends are going through. (except that I lost my father 30 years ago to drowning…falling from his boat & got hit in the head unconscience) I’m not a reality show person, but we never missed an episode (& repeats…& Dirty Jobs) My sister-in-law & her husband live on Kodiak Island. They are the only Veterinarians there (The Johnsons) & treat many of the F/V’s animals. I loved having an inside view to news of crews that came in (FYI…privacy was kept about anything sensitive, they are professionals before family…we just got fun/interesting news. Captain Phil was a great man…very rough but always openly loving on camera to his sons & crew. I will miss him dearly. I will watch the new season but am not looking forward to it. I’ll have much Kleenex with me through it all. God bless him, Josh & Jake and everyone that loved him. I hope this does not sound cold, but will he be buried on the hillside with other past fishermen? And who will take over the Captain’s chair? I can’t believe he will not be at his favorite chair anymore. He was a great friend to many people that have never met him. Thank you Phil for letting us into your heart. You left a great legacy…but way too soon.
I am so saddened to hear about Captain Phil. He will be greatly missed. (I’ll never forget the crab farts!)
To the family and close friends of Captain Phil; the sun will most certainly shine after the storm. I know you all have been through many, and are certainly going through one now. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless you, and be safe.

I am so sorry to hear about Capt. Phil. He was a wonderful and caring Father, Husband and Fisherman. It went in that order as well. Phil, you will be deeply missed, R.I.P Phil Harris. Josh, Jake and Cornelia Marie, my condolences go out to you. The privilige of being able to be in his life in such a way has been a gift. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.
Love Always,
The Hook Family
Of all the captains on the show, Captain Phil was who I enjoyed watching the most. His attitude toward everyone of his crew, family, and of course the rest of the people with the fleet was terrific.
My condolences to the family and it was like losing my father again.
You are all in my prays, God Bless.
i am so sorry for the boys lost it hurt me to know that we want see him any more on t v .he made a big part of the show i will keep all of the boys in my prays and hope to see you all in the soon on the t v
sail on captain you will be missed
Sending love and condolences to the extended Cornelia Marie crew and family, especially the Harris family. You’ve shown millions of people the traditions behind commercial fishing, and how family is such an important part of that world. The love Josh, Jake and Phil had for one another and the often hilarious ways that love was demonstrated was a huge draw for me, the daughter of a ship’s captain. Captain Phil will be dearly missed by those of us lucky enough to “know” him through the show. And to the boys who did their best to look after their stubborn, lovable dad–hang in there.
Jake & Josh. Myself and my family are Deadliest Catch “junkies” and words cannot explain how saddened we were to hear about the loss of your dad. He was by far the most likeable captain and one of the main reasons we are so addicted to the show. My dad died when i was less than 2 years old so never got to know him. Please take comfort from the fact that you had the chance to know him and the influence he had on your lives. If my dad was around today i would be proud if he was anything like Phil. Take care guys. Enjoy the memories!

My heartfelt condolences to , Josh , Jake, Captain Phil’s family and the Cornelia Marie’s crew.
I thank Phil Harris and the other captains and crews for showing the majesty of the Bering Sea crab fishing industry and the skills and hard work and fellowship involved .
Who would have ever thought that watching some guys fish for crab could become such a nationally televised sensation ? And how many of us watching would be content to sit through more than a few 6 to 9 show ” Deadliest Catch ” marathons ?… and love every minute !
No , we didn’t lose Captain Phil Harris . We will always hear the burr of his voice as he explains the nature of his occupation , the ever-present dangers of the sea , the excitement of landing on the crab , the pranks on fellow crab boats crews , and of course ; his apparent loving observations of his two kids’ maturity aboard the Cornelia Marie . That can never be lost .
Great job , Captain Phil Harris ,… Great Job !
Captain Phil will be greatly missed! My husband and I have been avid watchers. We hope the crew of the Cornelia Marie will stay intact. They really seemed to work well together.
It is so true that you must stop and tell the people you love that you love them NOW. Treat everyone like it is yours or their last day. Phil showed me how to live and kept asking me to join him. I kept waiting to jump on board, making all my responsibilities first. We made plans for when he was getting back and figured we have our time after all this time. Just before he left he told me “Life is short, you don’t know long you have in this world, take advantage of now” and I listened, yet now it is still too late. I loved him with all my heart, and I always knew he loved me. He had the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known. We could sit and talk for hours about anything. There was nothing but love in his heart. He loved his boys and father so much. They all are of great stock. I AM BLESSED TO HAVE HAD THE TIME I DID WITH HIM. He was such a wonderful part of my life. He was my best friend. He taught me I need to start living my life today…tomorrow may never come. I MISS YOU PHIL… Jake and Josh, you know I am ALWAYS here for you. Stay tight with your grandfather, you all need each other.
To Captain Phil’s family and crew. We were so very sorry to hear of the death of Captain Phil.. Deadliest Catch is one of our favorite shows. Please know our thoughts are with your family and crew during this rough time.
I am so very very sorry to hear of your great loss. My thoughts and prayers are with Jake and Josh also the crew you have my deepest condolences, you are all in my prayers God Bless and keep you all!
rest in peace Captain Phil you are loved and will be missed!!!!!
Jake and Josh take care

We are very sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay strong.
My family and I wanted to wish your family all the prayers and best wishes we can give. Phil was, without doubt, an incredible father and leader. He will be missed by many.
Tears are still being shed and my heart goes out. Especially to you kids.
Put me on the list for if there is anything, anything I can do.
If only the Man would let it be so, Phil would still be here and healthy because I would have been happy to have traded places with him. If only.
Capt. Phil will not be forgotten
I want to send my prays and want you to know your dad will be missed very much!! I enjoyed watching him on the ship, he was a true skipper.
We want send our thoughts and prayers to Capt. Phil’s family. Our family has followed the show since it began and Captain Phil was our favorite. The catch wont be the same without him, he was for sure a awesome dad and a true skipper. Phil will be missed but not forgotten.
From one commercial fisherman to another
(blue crabber), my condolences to the entire family. I feel like I know you all. Phil was a hell of a fisherman. He knows that both of you will take over and make him proud. My hearts heavy but with you brothers!!
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Phil Harris family and friends. My family has watched the show for several seasons and feel we got a glimpse into your lives and scary job. My family has been a military family of 20 yearsof an 82nd Airbone Soldier and know all to well the worry for a loved one. We watched the show at first because of the craziness of the job but later as a way to glimpse and see all had made it home safe for that season. We are so saddened to see that Phil has left this world for he made it a brighter and more interesting one. He will be missed by many including my family whom he didnt even know. All the best to your family and boys if you continue your fathers legacy be careful. The viewers could see how much your father loved and adored you both. R.I.P Phil… The Garth Family Fort Bragg NC
I try to hold back the tears
For a man I never knew.
But they come –
As real as when my parents died.
But yet I did know him,
Full of life – now bigger than life!
He was Captain
of the Cornelia Marie.
A special man
Who grew in our hearts,
His passion for the boat and sea
Obvious.
Captain Phil will never be gone.
He will always be in the Bering Strait
Always with his love – the Cornelia Marie.
My prayers are with you.

Both Rod & myself have just heard of Phil’s passing and we feel as if we have lost a family member,We are both avid watchers of Deadliest Catch and we extend our sympathies to Phil’s family both on and off the sea.Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
You are in my heart
From the NikkiSea
We watch you guys all the time from our boat the NikkiSea in Mystic, Ct. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. Be strong and may God Bless.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Phil’s sons and Cornelia Marie Family. It breaks my heart to hear that such a good man and father was taken too soon. Jake and Josh, I know your dad is proud to have you as sons. I never got to meet your family but always felt that I knew you through the show. He seemed like a great man and will be missed. My love to you all
My prayers go out to the Harris family for their loss, I lost my dad about 7 years ago so I know what a terrible feeling it is.Even tho I did not know him, He seemed like a tremendous human being and a great family man who was dedicated to his family. A sad loss for the world
It is with great sadness that I offer my condolences. Phil was such an entertainer… via sharing his sea life with all of us. He was my favorite of all the fisherman.. I loved the episode when he quit smoking. Not only was he ridiculusly talented in his field, he appeared to be such a good father and employer. If I miss him and I don’t even know him…… my heaet goes out to his family and friends as their lives will never be the same. I pray that you d a way to cope with such an enormous loss. K Smith and family
I feel like a part of the crew and the personal lives of everyone on the Cornelia Marie. As part of the “family” I am saddened over the loss of Captain Phil. My thoughts to everyone and especially Captain Phil’s immediate family….we will miss him.
Josh & Jake. We are so sorry for your loss. We have fond memories of you boys as you were growing up. You have grown into fine young men. I found some pictures recently and will treasure them. They are of Phil, Teresa, Joelle & the red corvette. lol Our prayers are with you both. It has been a real joy to watch the show of you two and your dad working together. I remember him talking about what a thrill it would be for him for you boys to follow in his footsteps. God’s blessings on you both.

Jake and Josh, I am so sorry for your loss. It sucks, but you will get through. Sending you and your family hugs and prayers always
To Jake and Josh….
the only family i know through DISCOVERY, i wish you Gods blessings over all of you and your grieving time for a man I would have gladly chosen for a father.
Out of all the captains on DISCOVERY/DEADLIEST CATCH… Phil was the one I would vote the most wise, kind, caring for his staff…. and just a normal man. Not a ego maniac, pride
