Phillip V. "Phil" Robinson

Phil had the uncanny ability to relate to people on all levels. He never met a stranger and you always felt he had known you for years. His charm, wit, curiosity and constant strive for excellence personifies his life. For those who knew Phil, we should feel blessed.

I worked with Phil a short time while I was in OPS Excellence and Phil was the EVP at RL. I remember someone walked by and asked if he liked something (I dont remember what it was) and Phil politely said he did. Later he mentioned to me he needs to be careful as the EVP saying he liked something meant he approved it for the company. We both had a good chuckle . I always remember how humble and inspirational a leader he was. Prayers for his family

What a great man. Smart, savvy and a great wit. I don't know how to describe him more than "he had a way with people." I had the pleasure to work for him for several years, shared some great times and a few cigars. He was fair and always took great care of his people. The world lost a great human being on 10-16.

Phil, gave me my start as a director of operations and change my life. He always believed in me.
