Was deeply saddened by the news of Phil,s passing. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and friends. Will miss seeing him on Deadliest Catch. Our prayers are with you in these difficult times. God Bless! DC@ family
God Bless. I enjoyed the Harris family and the obvious love between the father and sons. He will be missed by many viewers.
Sorry to hear the sad news. He was an interesting person and my favorite character on the show. Almost certainly his passing was due to smoking (lots of footage of him chain-smoking and it’s a MAJOR cause of strokes). Please stop smoking, if you do.
Gruff and Tuff.. classic sailer.. They are a dieing breed,, He will be missed
I am saddened by Phil’s passing, I pray his sons have the strength and the courage to continue to make their father proud. I have enjoyed watching the Deadliest Catch for years…RIP Phil…

My deepest sorrows goes out to josh and jake for the tragic loss of their father. My prayers goes out the harris family Capt phil was one of the best captains he will be deeply missed.
This man was a real man’s man! He loved his family and showed it in his own way. He lived his life his way and he appeared to enjoy his life.
But, we all watched him smoke like a chimney and endure REAL medical issues (probably due to the cigarettes) so, if anything can be learned from this, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE quit smoking or don’t start.
Hearfelt condolences to his family and friends.
you people who seem to express so much sorrow are spending way way way to much time watching these duds on tv. get a life.
He will be surely missed. This is one show that my whole family has enjoyed watching for many years. My prayers goes out to his family.
