Not sure what to say?

"Coach" Robertson, gosh that doesn't really say it does it? I really do not believe that I would have become the person that I am today with out the guidance, teaching, discipline, leadership and of course coaching of Coach Robertson. Stern but fair, he always pushed me to do everything that my body and mind would allow to achieve whatever it was that I wanted from life. I implement many of his lessons in my daily life and hopefully I can pass them on to my own Daughter with the same...

I went to college withe Steve and his brother, he was a year or two behind me a wild man from Florida and we all called him Tarzan After I left school I did not hear from him again until last year, a phone call and asking whether or not I would be at the homecoming football game and we arranged a roundevous. I had ordered all his books to read and as we talked it was as if we had been close friends all those years. As I read his book Bottom Time I realized we had had many of the same...

Coach Robertson made such an impact on my life that I will never be able to fully explain. In 7th grade, after failing to make the soccer team due to an injury I had, I wanted to prove that he was wrong about my abilities and tried out for the track team. He was the coach and the first thing he said to me was, "you are one of those special ones that just does not ever give up." Those words and that challenge guided me through so many athletic achievements, academic and life challenges and...

I had the pleasure of meeting Coach Robertson 30 (or so) years ago at Fletcher Jr High. He was my Business teacher and we had such a great time in his class. Summer was just a baby (I think she was just born) and her mom brought her into the classroom one day to show her off. He was such a proud dad. Always showing us pictures of her. I've seen him several times over the past few years, usually at Ragtime where he gave me an autographed book for my boys who were playing soccer. He was...

I just now heard the passing of a very kind and gentle man, Mr. Steve Robertson. He was a very strong influence in my life while at Fletcher Junior High and I will never forget his presence on the soccer field as well. The utmost respect I will always have for him, and my deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family...I feel as though a legend has passed, yet now into glory. I will never forget Mr. Robertson...thank you for all your encouragement!

Mr. Robertson (Steve) was my House Administrator when I was a 7th grade teacher at Southside Middle School. At that time, I would have much preferred teaching 6th grade, but I stayed at 7th grade just because of Mr. Robertson. In fact, all the 7th grade teachers said the same thing. Mr. Robertson supported us 100% and made it so much easier to go in and teach. When Mr. Robertson retired, I left Southside Middle School. I had never had such a great House Administrator before Mr. Robertson...

My sincere condolences to the Robertson family. I met Steve when my husband, Ronnie Caplan opened his pet store (Beaks and Bubbles) at the beach, years ago. They became friends and always talked about birds and saltwater fish. Steve and Kathy would also come to our annual Halloween party and he was the life of the party. When my husband and I parted ways, I lost touch with him, until a few years ago at a book signing. Ronnie passed away a couple of years ago. Now he will have someone to share...

Summer and Sunny you were the reason your Dad had such a great smile. You have been GREAT kids. Your loss is shared by all the people your father touched in his lifetime. These tears are for you.
Love, Tina Fallon

Our sincere condolences and prayers
to all of the Robertson family. Steve
will be greatly missed.
