Robert Phillips

Robert was a friend. He was very smart and (sometimes) funny. He was good to talk with -- and he is missed.

Dr. Robert was a great guy. Smart - funny, friendly. I knew him from boating on the Bay (I work on boats and helped him get his boat). Remowned in his profession - and had about every degree you can think of. Simply - a special guy. Miss him.

On this the fifth anniversary of Bob's passing his legacy of excellence in all undertakings remains. His family will always have a true hero to emulate. May his memory be eternal.

Dearest Ana Maria:
Today, purely by chance, I learned of Bob's recent death, was deeply saddened, did not believe what I'd been told until I read this obituary, and now, regret that I have missed his funeral mass. At the moment, I am flooded with memories of the courtly manner, intellectual brilliance, richness, and crystalline clarity of his delivery of complex concepts in the field of psychiatry, in general, and forensic psychiatry, in particular. May God bless, support, and otherwise...

I was greatly saddened to learn of Dr. Phillips passing. I recently had the pleasure of working with Dr. Phillips and immediately recognized his dedication and commitment to his craft and most importantly his patients. Dr. Phillips was committed to excellent and compassion for all who crossed his professional and personal paths. We are all better as a result of our experience with Dr. Phillips.

My deepest sympathy to his family for a loss that will not easily pass. Please know...

Those of us who worked with Dr. Phillips during his time at the APA were amazed at his energy and devotion. The field will miss him as will his many friends.

There is never an age, we will not miss such a wonderful love one, it always seem too soon. May, you find comfort with family and friends as well as having so many happy memories & prayers to fill your hearts forever. May, it also be comforting to know that you can call on God and his tender mercies will carry you through your sorrows.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Dr. Phillips. He was my boss during his time as Deputy Medical Director at the American Psychiatric Association. I will miss his smile, support and mentoring. He was a class act. May you find comfort in knowing Robert Phillips ran a good race and finished early. God bless you!
