Phil Hanns
We are deeply saddened by the news that our friend and colleague, Phil Hanns, passed away on 28th October 2013. Phil had been vice-chair of NAWRA for many years and was much loved and respected by all of us. His passing leaves a huge gap on our executive committee and in all of our hearts. Our thoughts and love are with his family, friends, colleagues and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
