He was renowned for promoting the discipline, organizing international meetings, and mentoring younger colleagues in his field. Philip taught countless students and researchers at the University at Buffalo and mentored many faculty, myself included. Philip had a dry wit and a great sense of humor.”—David Watson, friend and colleague
