Not sure what to say?

Coach was one of the three most respected men in my life. He taught me to do the right things, the right way, for the right reasons.
You made a difference.

I was saddened to hear of Coach Virgil Robertson's passing. He started me as a sophomore Point guard on the Varsity basketball team.

What a great picture. I have not seen coach in over 25+ years and this is exactly how i remember him.
Coach Robertson was a special human being.He supplied me with so many great memories and was a part of creating everlasting friendships with my teamates. He taught us to believe in ourselves and to be prepared in whatever task we tackled. Thank you Coach i will always remember with a smile all of the practices,games,lectures,and lessons you blessed me with. God Bless you

it was a pleasue knowing him and he was one of the few teachers and coaches who shaped me into the coach/teacher/administrator that i am today.

There were only a few teachers that really made a difference, and even fewer who impacted our lives. He was one of them. You were a great man coach and we all knew it. God Speed

We lost one of the good ones from Sierra High School.
