The obituary notice of Phillip John DIXON

To Jenny,

We are so sorry for your loss, which we know you will be feeling very deeply. Condolences to your family and wishing you lots of strength as you navigate this tough time.

Apologies that we can not be with you on the funeral but you will be in our thoughts.

Love, Taj, Sharan, Amber, Ariya and Kewal Uppal,

Sincere condolences Pauline, Jenny and George on your profound loss. Phil was a dedicated family man and spoke with immense pride and love when talking about Pauline, Jenny and George, particularly about how well Jenny and George are doing in their respective careers.

I worked with Phil in the Area Office and District Office, and we clicked over our mutual love of music (as we all know, Phil was a massive Beatles fan). I have many fond me of working with Phil, his kindness and thoughtfulness helped me through some difficult periods and he was always willing to listen and offer advice. But it’s the laughter I remember the most, especially when there were just three of us working in District Office. He will be deeply missed.

Rest easy Phil, it was a pleasure knowing you.

I was lucky enough to work with Phil and know him as a friend. He was a lovely person, kind with a terrific sense of humour. The most important thing in his life were his family and my heart goes out to them all, particularly Pauline, Jenny and George

So sorry for your loss. I have very good memories of working with Phil who was always kind and patient, and very proud of his children.

Sending heartfelt condolences to Pauline, Jenny, George and all the family. Phil was such a special person and a true friend who will be missed by everyone who knew him.
Working with Phil was always a joy and a pleasure. He had boundless enthusiasm for any task and an unwavering curiosity. I remember him often expressing delight at the most inexplicable charts and graphs, it always made me smile. He used to burst into song at his desk all the time, and no-one batted an eyelid, he was happy and it was contagious.
Phil was a brilliant manager, you could trust him to always do the right thing and never let you down. When he asked for volunteers a queue would form! He was a fantastic mentor and many people he managed went on to senior positions no doubt in part due to his influence. It’s no surprise that his hard work was recognised and he also went on to achieve a senior position where he was highly regarded by all his colleagues.
Phil’s love for Pauline, Jenny and George was boundless and very touching. He spoke so proudly of their achievements and obviously loved being a husband and father. The regular updates and photo’s he sent over the years also showed that pride, and were lovely to see.
Phil’s passion for The Beatles, music in general and Hull City was also a huge part of his life. He had this knack of knowing how much or little to mention them depending on the situation or person. You never felt he was trying to convert you, but his enthusiasm made you want to know more.
Phil, I want to send you a huge thank you for all your support, advice and friendship over the years. It was an absolute privilege and pleasure to know and work with you. I will always miss you - goodbye my friend.
