I first met him in his office in 1979, and kept in touch over the years and he put me in touch with some charities he thought worthy of support. He happened to ring me to say he was retiring in July 1988...the day my youngest daughter was born (Philippa).
I really enjoyed his books and my wife and I were pleased to have visited him in February 2019, just a few weeks before pandemic. Sincere condolences to the family on the passing of a fine man indeed.

Deepest sympathy to Brigid and family on Philip’s death. He made a memorable contribution to the Irish gardening world and his enthusiasm was infectious

Dear Brigid and family. My sincere sympathies on your great loss. I was privileged to meet him through Monkstown Quakers. He was funny, supportive and tremendously involved in so many things.

My sincere condolences and sympathy to the Jacob family at this sad time.

Mr Jacob, my first employer, was a great influence as a role model for me - a young Chistian and also one of his employees in the 1960s. I've remembered him often and so glad we touched base again in 2010 and asked me to call him Philip. I thoroughly enjoyed his two books written and published by himself. Such a beautiful person and and great fun to be with. Rest in peace Philip - my friend and mentor. I will always remember you.. My sincerest condolences to all the family.

Jenny and Family, our deepest condolences on your loss. May he rest in peace.

Brigid and the Jacob family,

Charles,
Please accept our deepest sympathy on your father's death.
We hope that you and all the family find solace in happy memories and knowing that you are truly cared about.

Sorry to hear of Philips passing. He was a warm hearted Friend who truly walked cheerfully amongst all those he met with in this world. Best wishes to all his family at this sad time - Anna Wade (WMM)

Philip thought me to row, to feather my oars, to break the oar over my knee and stow the blade for'ard so as not to wet ones female companion.

A gentleman oarsman and a gentleman in every sense.

Deepest condolences to Jenny and the OSullivan & Jacob families on the death of Philip. May he rest in peace.
