Philip James William Smith
Philip went to Sea Training School at the age of 17 and, in his words, had 'gone round the world twice' before he was 18. In his middle years he joined the RNXS and his love of the sea continued. His ashes were lowered into the River Orwell in a biodegradable 'urn', with a rainbow in the sky above and by now, I hope, will have reached his beloved Medusa Channel. I know having his name on this lifeboat would mean so much to him, as it does to me. RIP my love xx
