From the Mikkelsen family, our sincere condolences to Emma and the family. A great guy who I remember at an early age was an unpromising, tough but smart competitor on the footy field.
He was very passionate and driven about many things especially his work which he was a superb operator.
He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and colleagues
RIP Phil

To Phil´s family,friends and loved ones. May I pass on my deepest condolences and sympathy at this time. I would also like to pass on my thoughts to Phil´s workmates & colleagues. I´m sure his unexpected loss leaves a big hole.
As a young boy I remember my Grandfather sitting me down & telling me that farming is something you have to put your heart & soul into, that when doing business ,it´s not the name of the company over the door that´s important. It´s the people inside. Do business with good people.
Phil was a good man.
His
enthusiasm,energy,kindness,experience,knowledge,ability to give an encouraging word,honesty and trust will be sorely missed.
Thank you Phil for making what I do a little bit easier. Rest in peace.
