77
Pacific Grove

The Hurdy Gurdy Man (monkey organ grinder) of the Fisherman’s Wharf for 34 years…our Phil, has passed.

Phil is missed so much by loved ones, his friends and family and fans across the globe.

His full life was memorialized in detail in the Carmel Pinecone magazine in the Feb 14, 2025 edition on page 21. Please take a look at the obituary there about his very full life!

There are no current services being held, but we enjoy hearing every single story about how he touched other lives.

Phil’s life will be remembered and celebrated in October with close friends and family per his wishes.

We miss him: Look for his cousin, Leigh Becker of Santa Cruz on Facebook, he has also left grieving family members Laurie Otto of Santa Cruz (also on Facebook) and not on Facebook: Theresa Monroe of Long Beach and Marsha Andrews of Monterey.
