Philip possessed a personal magnetism and was a remarkable human being whose generous, kind, inquisitive spirit will live on forever in the hearts of the many people all over the world who knew and loved him. He was a true seeker whose path ranged from organic farming, to writing poetry and philosophy, to creating a camper out of his 2016 Mercedes Sprinter van (see YouTube) https://youtu.be/B9bksOIH0aY https://youtu.be/Wcneseb9y_w Beginning as a child at the Lab School of Washington, Philip created marvelous works of visual and utlilitarian art in a variety of mediums. For most of his childhood Philip and his Mom lived in the D.C. area. His mother, Pinky Zalkin, of Nevada City, CA, where Philip also spent a great deal of time over the years, has been using some of his creations daily for over 35 years. Pinky loved her son deeply and will continue to love him in spirit forever more. She wants to express enormous gratitude to the many people who have supported and continue to support her during this time of fear, frustration and grief.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the campaign of John Foster for Nevada County Sheriff 2018 in appreciation of his never wavering, continuing support, guidance and compassion throughout this devastating ordeal. The address is: 356 G Providence Mine Rd., Nevada City, CA 95959. Please write Philip in the memo section.
