Mr. Robertson was a special man and had a big influence over my life and the lives of many others. He was a true role model and provided a blue print for young black men striving to achieve excellence. I thank God for bringing him into my life. Know I will be lifting the entire Robertson family up in prayer.

My Dad was truly one of the finest men I was ever lucky enough to know, much less be the son of. He embodied all the qualities of a strong loving God-fearing man and remains a role model for all that met him. He will always be with us in some way, I feel his presence with me always and look forward to seeing him again. I love you Dad. Rest Well Patriarch.

Dear Mrs. Robertson, Tselane, Beth, and the rest of the Robertson family both near and far,
Mrs. Robertson, I will never forget the time when Tselane and I were students at Hampton Institute... I will never forget my visit to the beautiful Robertson residence in Fairfax County Virginia, the bean shaped pool,
and most of all, how welcome you all, Mr. and Mrs. Robertson made me feel so welcome at your home. Mrs. Robertson, you and your husband expressed "southern hospitality" at its finest... Mr. Charlie Robertson may have retired from the U.S. Air Force as a Lt. Colonel, but I remember him as a husband to you, and a wonderful father to Tselane and the others. Indeed, Mr. Robertson was a officer, a father, and a gentleman. Mrs. Robertson, I only wish I had a dad as super as yours truly...In closing Mrs. Robertson, keep the loving memories of your husband and soul-mate alive... It was always apparent to me that the both of you placed FAMILY first. Your "adopted" daughter... Carolynne Merritt, Hampton Institute, B.A. (1984) and Hampton University, M.A.(1989)

Uncle Charlie,

It was pleasure getting to know you. You were always very kind and welcoming to me. Early on in our relationship, Allison spoke very highly of you and I was eager to meet you. In addition, you were always gentlemanly in your dealings with your wife, children and other family members. You are the epitome of what a good, strong man should be. I am humbled that God allowed you to grace us with your presence on Earth for a short while. The great things that you've done in life will never be forgotten. On behalf of me and all of the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., we bid you farewell and may you rest in peace. We love you and miss you.

Until we meet again,

Tony Caldwell
