Phil Thomas had a rare combination of traits which made him a legend in the canola industry. His intense curiosity and willingness to share knowledge made us better stewards. His humour and inclusiveness made us better colleagues. Condolences to his family.

This is so unfortunate. If there ever was a Center of excellence in canola knowledge it was Phil Thomas. He always made time for questions and will truly be missed.
