CARRODUS, Philip Raymond

You spent your whole life loving me, I’ll spend the rest of mine missing you. There isn’t enough words to express how thankful I am for everything pop, you were my biggest supporter and always had a positive outlook on life. As a little girl I always would say “my pop can fix anything” but there is one thing you won’t be able to fix – grief. You will always be the brightest star in the sky and the most colourful sunset. See you later alligator, until we meet again. I love you always xo

For the last 20 years of my life you have shown me nothing but love and happiness. Pop you are not only a grandfather to me but you were my best friend. I’ll continue to love you and miss you as my life goes on. I hope I still continue to make you proud up there thank you for everything you have done for me and for our memories together. Rest in paradise poppy forever and always x

You weren’t just pop, you were everything to everyone, anywhere you went you left a mark that no one will ever forget. No matter if it was midday or midnight, you were the one that was there for us all. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten.

Until we meet again young fella, love you always, my best friend and my motivation. I love you mate rest easy.

Words can’t express how much we all miss life without you,
As far back as I can remember you shaped most of us into the people
We are today. You were full of knowledge, strength, compassion and most of all laughter. You had a sense of humour like no other person, the laughter and jokes you instilled into this family will never be forgotten. Thank you for being the best pop I could ever ask for. I will miss asking for your advice and guidance. Love you pop.

We’ll see each other in the next life

In loving memory, Forever remembered, forever missed. You’ll be with us always.. Always loved, never forgotten… Thanks for the memories dear Phil… Rest In Peace….. All our love Crissie, Mitchell & Dylan xxx

Where do I even begin, there’s not enough time in a lifetime to express how much of a void loosing you has left behind, you weren’t just my pop, you were my best friend and the only father I have ever known, you changed the lives of everyone you touched, you taught me so many lessons and I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it weren’t for you, there were times I took for granted that I will regret forever I miss your hugs, I miss your jokes, I miss being in your presence, I miss hearing your facts about Elvis, I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you proud, and carry on your memory, I can whistle me up a memory, I can whistle a tune that will carry me, but nothing will ever be the same as having you here with me, you were a fixer, in any scrap you knew just what to do, a strong and ready fella, all your jokes were stellar, your bold Aussie heart was true blue, I love and miss you poppy, you were the best poppy pop in the west <3 xx

My dear dad, there’s so much I want to say but I think you know that, how much you are loved and how much I miss you, you are forever in my heart until I see you again, keep rocking in those blue suede shoes, love you dad, love your daughter Nicky xxoxxo

Pop I don’t even know how we’re supposed to do life without you, you and nana have always been the glue of the family and without you nothing will be the same. Thank you for always being there wether it was fixing something giving advice or just having a laugh at you’re jokes, you always put a smile on our faces.
Thank you for taking me in for loving and encouraging me to follow my own path I will never forget when I placed 3rd in my art competition and you said “it doesn’t matter because I’m proud of you” that was all I needed I will miss you so much poppy I love you xxx

Uncle Phil,
The entertainer and collector of fine things,, from your jukebox to your dancing Elvis clock and the unforgettable cuckoo clock, that I was always waiting for it to open up and appear,,
One thing I will never forget is the way you were able to mimic people,, Mum especially lol ( to funny )
You will be sadly missed
Love always Breezy xo

If I could write a story it would be the greatest ever told . Of a kind and loving father who had a heart of gold . To say how much I miss you and to send you all my love . I hold you close within my heart and there you will remain . To walk with me throughout my life until we meet again . I know you will be proud when I get the Torana running . Oh dad once I pull the money out of my arse and boy you will hear it humming . Love you dad .. Kylie 💕

Hey Pop, I know you’re looking down at as all right now and I know you are so proud of us all. You were such a caring soul to me, you and Nana Lois treated me like I was apart of the family and one of your grandchildren, I appreciated it so much. I miss you dearly pop and always will. I hope your enjoying your time with Elvis and listening to your tunes xx

Love you Pop xx

Dear Phil , I met you and Lois over 20 years ago. You both always welcomed me. Phil, I love how you always had a joke and were such easy company. I admire the way you looked after your family. You were the salt of the earth and I will miss you and never forget you. Rest in peace. Love Ros

Dear Phil I am missing you so much will be so hard living without you. All my love until we meet again Lo xxoxoxx

Thanks Phil for being such a great uncle. Whenever we caught up on the phone, it was like no time has passed. I remember coming out to your place riding motorbikes and having so much fun. You were my mentor when I first went into construction as a TA and I learned so much from you.

Dad always had so much time for you and spoke so highly of you.

Thank you for everything you did for me and my Dad.

You will be missed mate.

Uncle Phil

We celebrate the life of a remarkable man—My beloved Uncle Phil. As I sit back and remember him, and reflect on the immense impact he had on our lives and the legacy he leaves behind.

Uncle Phil was not just a passionate car enthusiast; he was a master craftsman. His old Chevy, imported from America, stood as a testament to his innovation and skill. I remember how he transformed it from left-hand drive to right-hand drive. This wasn’t just an engineering feat; it was a reflection of his dedication and creativity, inspiring all of us boys as we grew into young men.

His visits were always anticipated. Whenever I heard he was coming, I would eagerly hope for a ride in that Chevy. With the windows down, , basking in the thrill of the moment, and proudly flaunting our cool uncle to our friends. It was during these drives that I truly understood the joy he found in life.

At family gatherings, I would often spend hours in his home, surrounded by Elvis Presley memorabilia, listening to his records play. I cherished those moments, all while secretly hoping for a glimpse of that elusive Chevy, safely tucked away. Each visit was filled with laughter, stories, and an overwhelming sense of admiration for who Uncle Phil was as a person.

He was a man of hard work and integrity, a rock-solid figure with a gentle yet firm voice. Despite his vast knowledge, I never heard him raise his voice in anger. He possessed the rare ability to engage in discussions that would captivate us all, often educating us on subjects we thought we knew. His polite disagreements never created tension, but rather enriched the conversation, making us think and learn.

Uncle Phil was not just a family member; he was a steadfast friend to Uncle Peter, always by his side, working tirelessly—whether it was fixing Nana’s tractors or keeping the Torana running. They complemented each other, showing me the value of teamwork and loyalty. I take comfort to think they probably up there togethervwith Nana dancing with Elvis

As we bid farewell to Uncle Phil, let us carry forward his spirit of curiosity, craftsmanship, and kindness. And hope to continue to share our memories, honor his legacy, and find comfort in knowing that he touched our lives in profound ways.

RIp Uncle Phil

Phil what amazing uncle you are so much I could write but I will be here for days putting down everything. Your Witt , and humour were above everyone. Rest in peace my dearest uncle we will meet again a man what a party that will be. Love to Lo, Shane, Nik , Kylie , Troy and families xxx

RIP Uncle Phil
You were such a calm, caring and witty man.
I always loved coming out to Hazelwood North to spend time with you as a kid.
I loved exploring your shed and you telling stories about all the parts and things you would be working on.
We got to ride bikes, horses, and go fishing at Mr Ray’s dam..
I loved the Elvis collection and think of you whenever I play his music..
I have such great memories of you driving me to my debutant ball in that beautiful 57 Chev of yours.
You’ll be sadly missed by all us Joske boys..
Kade

So sad to hear of Phil’s passing our thoughts are with Lois and the Family .
