Abstract
John Robert Philip, AGU Fellow, and winner of the Horton Award and the Horton Medal, was killed in a traffic accident in Amsterdam on June 26, 1999. He had just spent 2 weeks at the Mathematics Institute there after a visit to Israel, and was en route to the United States to meet with colleagues.
Officially he retired 7 years ago but remained an (unpaid) full-time researcher (starting at 7 a.m. rather than his previous 5 a.m.) at Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO),Land and Water, in Canberra, Australia, producing a substantial body of new work each year. He won the Horton Award with Dan de Vries in 1957 and the medal in 1982.
