In Loving Memory of Phil Molea

 

Phil worked for Vertica as an Information Developer for close to five years.  He was a very important part of our Vertica team and part of our Vertica family.

Phil enjoyed working in the Vertica community, the base product documentation, as well as with our Technology Partners.  He was very well liked and respected and the type of person that was always willing to step up and help.

Phil meant a lot to many people.

Phil was always here ahead of me and happy to greet me with a smile – in fact, it was often just Phil, Majid and myself in our area for the first hour of the day.  Phil was in the office just a few weeks ago and while he did not seem himself, he was cheerful as usual.  I will miss his smile and the camaraderie we shared in the morning.  I like to think he is brightening someone else’s day now.  – Dave S.
