    His character honestly stole the show half of the times. Sorry Will, but Uncle Phil was my favorite character of the show. Heck at one point I wished he was my father since my own had passed away. Not because of the money, or power he held in his career, but because I saw just how damn great of a father he was to all the kids on the show.

      To me with Phil is this is a man who has taken in his nephew that he grew to love as his own.
      deal with said nephew changing both his way and his kids but also helped all his children grow up and let them make mistakes. A man that was protective of his family, who taught his children that not everything was easy. Became a father to a boy that needed one. Tough but fair, listened to his family. Held his temper in until he could not anymore but never lost it unless it was needed. Let his kids know that he wasn't invincible (heart attacks). He was one of the best t.v. fathers who you could see in real life.

    This is beautiful. He really did come through the television as everyone's uncle and that will always be appreciated.

    I always call him Uncle Phil.. Everytime I saw him in different shows and movies. I never call him by his real name.

    Even through a screen you always felt the warmth and kindness of James Avery. A father figure we never met, but knew. Rest in peace sir

    Coming home from school everyday knowing Will and Uncle Phil would be there was the highlight of my childhood. My dad would constantly say I’m nothing you’ll always be nothing but seeing Uncle Phil gave me life. I’ll forever be in both your debt. Thank you uncle Phil, you did what my dad could never do, you showed me what a man really is. Gracias tio Phil RIP

    I would be lying to myself and everyone else who is watching this, if I said I didn't start to tear up with in the first 25 seconds of this video.
    God bless James Avery
    You won't ever be forgotten.

      It wouldn't seem right to not include Danny Tanner in the group, Avery/Goodman/Saget were veritable legends of the 90s, and honestly still share that pedistal with Carl Winslow (Reginald VelJohnson), Tim Allen, Frank Lambert (Patrick Duffy from Step by Step), and William Russ (Alan Matthews) from Boy Meets World. Maybe that's my main group, but I can imagine others share a good deal of the same list thanks to TGIF.
