So sad to hear of Phillip’s passing. I lived next door to him and his parents for many years at Mount Macedon.
He will be surely missed.
Everything you would want in a friend..sensible advice, a wonderfully understated sense of humour, a staunch magpie fan and a lover of Irish music.
As one of his golf mates commented “A gentleman and a gentle man”.
A privilege to share part of my life with Phil Rowe.
From a likely lad with a 1932 Ford Roadster in his youth to a respected school leader, a loving father and a generous, gentle friend.
Always remembered

Phil was a great bloke. He was always friendly and generous. He was truly a great special educator, no matter what role he took on.
It’s so sad he’s gone. My thoughts are with his family.

We were saddened to hear the passing of Phillip.
He was such a loveable and gentle soul.
We thoroughly enjoyed his chats, wise words and footy banter.
He’ll be sadly missed.

We enjoyed our Tuesday night dinners with Phil … a true gentleman.
