Phil Gatch has been a true friend to myself and my family.  We will miss him and pray that his soul rests in Peace.

Ronald Underwood

Our brilliant Planning Director and City Manager who helped shape the beautiful City of Thousand Oaks and whose greatest legacy was encouraging, mentoring, and advocating for his staff members during his 38 year career - From acorns to mighty oaks!
Phil, you are not forgotten!
With gratitude.

Phil built the City of Thousand Oaks !! He was the Planning Director when I first came to the city in 1972 and had been so since 1969 . It was his guidance and inspiration that created the open space, the planned community and the attraction of Thousand Oaks. He fought the various city managers to make sure his ideas never strayed . He protected his employees, me , at the very last , from the wrath of the CM. He was a leader and a visionary and I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with him and for him. Good bye old friend . You will be missed. 

We met Phil and his family on a trip to Hawaii so many years ago.  Nancy, his wife,  and I became fast friends and remained so long after our vacation. Phil was an upstanding member of his community and a valued friend. I was saddened to hear of his passing.
