Sending you all our love from the UK. Great memories for such a wonderful man. Rest in peace now Phil. Xxx

So so so many happy memories and we’re happy to have shared so many special moments with you back at home, on our travels and then in New Zealand. Love you Phil xx

Sending love and strength to all, such a sad loss. You always had a smile and a positive outlook during this battle & I know you were surrounded by love. Rest well Philip From all in the USA

Phil has been in my life forever. Way back when I was a small child it's been said that Phil and his equally fabulous Dad (my beloved 'Uncle Jimmy') were the only people that put up with me because I was such a pain!! Phil still thought it would be a good idea to tell me about the Loch Ness Monster while our families holidayed by Loch Ness though! Fast forward many years after that & my first New Year on my own with young children Phil rang me, from NZ, to see in the New Year with me over the phone so I wasn't by myself ..... and there's the essence of what a beautiful, huge hearted, loving person he was. I'll miss you forever Phil. I'll think of you every day. Rest peacefully you fabulous one ❤️❤️ Much love to all the family ❤️❤️

We’ve just sadly said goodbye to my friend.a truly beautiful service befitting an amazing,kind, thoughtful person My brother,best man and my daughter’s trusted godfather. I know they’ll be a lot of good people up there waiting for you. Phil and Lou created a beautiful family together and should both both be very proud. We’ve been paying our thanks over here in our way for someone who’ll never be forgotten by us. A true gentleman. Many many memories of fantastic times spent together. Watch over us all mate. Taxi for Phil. All our love forever. Jimmy Joanne and Jemima. Xxxxxxx

Wonderful service. Good memories, brave girls. Great final song Phil. Goodnight mate xxx

Such a sad loss. Sending love to all the NZ family. I know Dad kept in close touch with you. Thinking of you all at this sad time xxx

I've know Phil longer than I can remember. Through him I got to meet Irene Jeff and Justine. We're nearly the same age and I have 2 beautiful girls just like him and Louise. We made plans to cycle along the South Coast of France many moons ago but it all fell apart when we couldn't get past Paris and turned back. The best thing you did was move to NZ. I was always in awe of you and your lovely family. You've taken these final steps with grace. Your my inspiration to seize evey day and my motivation to run the 2nd Leeds Marathon for the MND community. Rest easy and run with me xxxx

A sad day for the Wood family in the UK with the loss of Phillip, after a long struggle with this terrible disease supported by his loving family and friends. All our love The Woods UK Thinking of you all

Got to know Phil back at school, and spent 2 enjoyable years in Design A level class. Great times with many raucous laughs. Phil even managed to wangle my help in stripping his bedroom walls on Alky? Spent time socially with Phil as well. Rest easy buddy, till we reconvene in Bobby Gees classroom upstairs x

I only saw Phil a few times in my life, but he made such an impression on me that it feels like yesterday when I saw him last. Strong minded with such a great dry sense of humour, with a bloody naughty laugh! Cheers Phil. I’ll see you on the other side for a warm pint of ale.
