Edward Dale Robertson

My deepest condolences on the passing of Reverend Ed Robertson. I met Reverend Robertson when I was 14 or 15 years old in 1980. I was a member of San Pablo Presbyterian church and he was shepherding First Presbyterian on Elizabeth. We had such great fellowship. I greatly loved him, not only for bringing me closer to our Lord and Savior but also because he officiated my wedding to my husband Erasmo in 1990. He and my husband got along really well because they both officiated sports games. I...

Ohhhh Ed Robertson! He grew up with my mom Marilyn Nowakowski! I was blessed to have gone on two of his mission trips to Mexico! What a thrill!! He locked two of us in our rooms by tying a rag from our door knob to the outside railing! Oh what fun he had and oh what a sense of humor! I sure loved that sweet, sweet man! Prays for the whole family! I look forward to catching up with him in the presence of Jesus! I can only imagine their conversations!!!

My deepest condolences to Mrs. Robertson and her family. I am holding you close in prayer. Mrs. Robertson was my fifth grade teacher at Clearwater Elementary during the 1980-1981 school year.

Ed was absolutely wonderful. I remember details of some of his sermons that particularly spoke to me. I got baptized for the first time at age 30 when Ed was the pastor. May he RIP I received more blessings than I could ever give in my role as church musician at First Presbyterian Brownsville.

We´re sad for this news but grateful to have known this wonderful man all these years. Our condolences to Dale, Kathy, Sally, and all who mourn Ed´s passing.

My condolences to all the Robertson Family and may God give you peace and comfort. Rev. Ed Robertson a man of God and a gentle soul. He spiritually nurtured so many people and was a kind and loving man. Ed was very much a part of the lives of our family. He married Beto and I, baptized our children, and they were also confirmed by him. He provided a lifetime of spiritual nurturing for us. Thank you, Ed, for your love and care you gave to our family. You are a legend and were a good...

Our family owes so much to Ed for our faith formation and our connection to the Presbyterian Church. He officiated the wedding for Sam and me, and baptized our three children. A tree flourishes on the grounds of Elizabeth and Palm as a memorial to my grandmother Anna Lee. First Presbyterian is my church home-away-from-home whenever I am visiting the family property, and I have had occasion to be present in San Benito when Ed was preaching there. Truly a life well-lived, loving and...

It is with great love and thanks that I send my prayers and greeting each of the family. He was such an influential figure in Jimmy and my life as well as the lives of our children, Heather and Perry. We treasure the wonderful memories we made with Ed from our wedding, to many youth trips to Mexico, years of activities at FPC and camp at Mo Ranch. What comfort those memories bring us now and will continue to provide for years to come. There is comfort and joy in knowing he has joined those...

In 1970, my father Rev. Efrain Buenfil was hired by Getsemani Presbyterian church in Kingsville, Tx. My father received his Masters of Christian Ed in Richmond Virginia. ( a scholarship program given to ministers in all parts of the world). We were originally from Yucatan and Campeche Mexico. All this to say that Ed made it a point to not only help us cross into the United States (legally I might add). He brought us across the bridge Matamoros/ Brownsville. And drove us all the way to...
