THANK YOU FROM CORNELIAMARIE.COM
Thank you to everyone who has shared their concern for Capt. Phil, his family and crew. We have received thousands of emails and comments from everywhere. We know many of you have met Capt. Phil and his boys during one of their public appearances or have spent many hours with him through watching the “Deadliest Catch”. We appreciate all who have sent good thoughts and prayers… It is a meaningful act and we really appreciate it during this difficult time.
As we said in the last post, we will let you know when we have any substantial news about Capt. Phil. He continues to be supported by Jake and Josh and other family and friends.
We’ve heard many folks asking where they can send get well cards. Please send correspondence to:
Captain Phil Harris
PO Box 32466
Amarillo, TX 79120-2466
From there, they will be handled by Phil’s good friend and then delivered to him later.
Once again, we thank you for your support.

Josh, Jake, the Harris family and crew of the Cornelia Maria. We extend to you our very deepest sympathy in the loss of Captain Phil. We have been tremendous fans of Deadliest Catch since its beginning and so enjoyed Phil,you boys, the crew, and the show. Your father has left you boys so much knowledge in your field, you must be so thankful to have had him, and proud to have called him “Dad”. He’ll always be there on the sea with you and in your hearts with your proud, loving memories of him. Bless you boys, bless you Phil, rest well, you’ve done a good job with your boys and your ship, we’ll miss you.

The Cornellia Marie is my favourite boat, i like the crew but Phil and the boys were the best
Loved the way Phil used to lose the plot with Josh & Jake whilst trying to be angry, then the boys would make a couple of smart remarks an Phil would crumble trying not to laugh. He was proud of his lads.
Hope we will see a nice program in the new series with a fitting tribute,
RIP Phil the Sea and Deadliest Catch will be a different place without you, God Bless

We are sadden to learn of the passing of Phil. He provided the show the “Old Sea Captin” sense of knowledge. He was real, he was genuine, he was truthful and he was a father who loved his sons more than life itself. We will miss him, please accept our deepest sympathy.

My heart goes out to all of you. Your dad has entertained us for many seasons and I so looked forward to the shows return. He had the ability to make us (viewers) feel like we were his friends. His loss will be felt by so many…. I pray that you find a way to cope with such a devastating loss. If the power of prayer helps – I have some coning your way. He loved you boys, always know that.

I am so shocked and sorry to here of this loss. Phil was first on my list of following the show Deadlist Catch. I can not see the fleet out there without him behind the wheel. May the family live in good memories, cherish and hold on to the time they did have together and get through one of the toughest thing one must go through.

I awoke this morning to the horrible news of the tragic death of Captain Phil Harris. Words cannot express my sadness or sorrow at the news of his passing. I have come to love all of the crew of all of the boats, but especially those of the Cornelia Marie and especially Phil and his sons, Jake and Josh. Ive seen each episode at least 10 times each over the years of the show, and it breaks my heart as Phil was without a doubt my all time favorite and his passing has hit me hard. I can’t begin to imagine how hard it has been for the family and the crew, and all the others whom I don’t know, who are a part of Phil’s life. My most sincere and heartfelt condolences go out to Jake and Josh and all the crew of the Cornelia Marie, and it is with great sadness that I say the show will never ever be the same without Captain Phil at the helm. God Bless You

We are loyal, dedicated followers of Deadliest Catch. Capt Phil and those great sons of his were favorites. We worried through the last time he went to the hospital. We were so surprised that he didn’t recover this time. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to his family and all connected with the F/V Cornelia Marie. I hope the boys can smile when they realize how many people really cared about their Dad and now share their loss. Best wishes boys!

My family and I are so sorry to hear about Captain Phil. We have been watching your show since the beginning and have seen your father teach you everything he knows about fishing and helping you grow into the men that you have become today. Take what your father has given you and keep growing from it. I lost my father 17 years ago (he was only 58 – heart attack) this September and I have taken what he taught me to raise my two sons into the men that they are today. Be proud and never let your children forget their grandfather. Keep the stories alive and pass them on. Sending our love, the Norberg family.

The Phillips Family said:
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Captain Phil. If a man’s worth is measured in the people he has touched…your father was the richest of men. In his Q & A interview Captain Phil expressed his love for his family and his crew. He spoke of honesty and the importance of a good days work. While watching the show, it became clear why Captain Phil was so special. He was a tough guy who loved his family and friends. I think it explains why so many of us feel grief even though we never met him. Our family will pray for God’s grace and comfort for Captain Phil’s father, sons, and for the crew he loved of the Corneila Marie.

Phil is an amazing person, I say IS as his spirit lives on in his family, sons, friends, crew, and the millions of people whom he never met.

Thank you for sharing your lives with so many in the good times and in the sorrow times. Thank you for allowing us to get to know Phil. A star now will shine bright above the night sky. God Bless.

I am living in China these days and just learned about Capt. Phil’s passing. My heart is heavy this evening and my eyes filling tears. When “Deadliest Catch” first started, we all finally had something good to watch on TV. I know I speak for many when I say that when the show started on Tuesday night, life came to a halt, we sat down and watched you guys. We came to love and respect all you crab fisherman. And watching Phil was so entertaining and fun. Fans of the show found out that you Bearing Sea crab fisherman are great guys, nice guys, good Americans. I’ll miss your Dad very much. You two men we’re so lucky to have him as your Dad and I’m a better person for knowing your family through TV. Thank you,

To the Josh and Jake, you have my greatest sympathy and sorrow in the loss of your father Capt Phil. As a close relative passed on the same way aboard his ship out of Westport WA, leaving two young sons….our Captains loved the ocean and fishing, right up till the end. I do so hope you follow in his footsteps, and may God be with you two young men. My sympathy also extends to your extended family and many friends.
As I sit here and watch the old reruns, it brings to mind with what great courage and love for the sea, it takes to go fishing up in the Bering Sea.
So take care Josh and Jake, may God always be on your right shoulder and Captain Phil on your left one also.

Captain Phil Harris, one of the best Captains on the Bering Sea. My prayers are with you boys and your family. Your father will be truly missed but his memories will live forever.
Here’s a poem that has been read many times and has helped people with the loss of love ones including myself.
Please read this on those days of sadness and see that this is the way the your father would want it to be.
I am Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God laid for me,
I took His hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
to laugh, to love, to work or play.
Task left undone must stay that way,
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch!
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share the joy with me,
God wanted me now, HE SET ME FREE!
I have never met you guys but it seems like I’ve know you forever thru watching the show.
God bless you and your family

To the family of Phil Harris and the
entire crew of the Corelia Marie.
I watched every episode of Deadliest
Catch and incomparison Capt. Phil was
the best. He treated each member of his crew fairly. His came across as
being understanding of the problms that
the crew members had. He loved the joking that went on amonge the crew members and would partake in the joke if he felt it would be in good taste.
You will be greatly missed by all of us viewers as you are by your family and friends. Live is cruel to have taken you away from all of us.
