From the website:

UPDATE: February 9, 2010: It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad - Captain Phil Harris. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end. For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down. We will remember and celebrate that strength. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. - Jake and Josh Harris

Statement from Discovery - Discovery mourns the loss of dear friend and colleague Captain Phil Harris. He was more than someone on our television screen. Phil was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him. We will miss his straightforward honesty, wicked sense of humor and enormous heart. We share our tremendous sadness over this loss with the millions of viewers who followed Phil's every move. We send our thoughts and prayers to Phil's sons Josh and Jake and the Cornelia Marie crew.



He reminded me of a few of my older uncles, plumbers and carpenters that they were instead of ship's captains of the Bering Sea. Capt. Phil Harris will be missed greatly by me.

Reminded me of fishing in Alaska only the show was cleaned up

I'm sorry to hear this (amazes me the news I get from you people! lol)...

thought his boys were annoying as hell, but he was awesome - everything you'd imagine one of them to be.. may he rest in peace (though he'd no doubt prefer to keep raisin hell in the great beyond)

I thought he was cool as heck.

Sorry to see him go to the fishing hole in the sky.
