Harris' kids, Jake and Josh, tell TMZ, "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.

RIP Captain Harris

RIP Phil Harris, a very entertaining person, one of my favorites on the show

RIP Phil.

Really sad news...

However, smoking, moderately overweight with general bad health practices = that result. :(

God Bless.

So sorry to hear this. 53 is way too young. Sincere condolences to friends and family.

Really sad

I thought he was in his 60's , smoking really ages you and every time I viewed him I knew it would not be long for him . The really sad thing is that he didn't change his ways for the ones he loved , now they suffer . RIP

So what you are saying is stating up for days straight smoking cigarettes and chasing them with red bull will kill you??

very sad RIP

Sorry for your loss.

Rip ....

Yeah, add alcohol or anthing else to the list. Whatever strikes your fancy! :party-smiley-004:

the dude looked really weathered for only 50 something years old. :(

Funny story, I was selling a roll top desk last week... Someone called who was interested in the desk... Her smoker voice was so raspy that I couldn't tell if it was a man or woman.... :eek: I told my wife that "Pat" just called about the desk... When she showed up to pick up the desk I was shocked because she was in her mid 40's....:eek:

Condolences to Captain Phil's family, his crew and friends.

I love that program and Phil along with Sig were my two favorite captains. Phil lived hard and was lucky he did not die earlier.

RIP Capt Harris,

My Farther had a stroke at the same age, and was lucky to pull through, this brings back a lot of memories...

A sad loss , a great show!

You can bet he packed a lot of life into those 50 years.

My favorite skipper too.

RIP

To be honest while viewing the show I was sure his heart would explode during taping , he was a real mess , too bad for his family , they are the only ones who suffer

The best captain on the show! What a shame

RIP

It's too bad, I liked him. Seemed like he was a good dad.
