Hello, I wish the relationship site said cousin, because that is my relationship with Philip. He was Oliver's, my father's, nephew. I will always be grateful that Philip came through Winslow with Sheri a few years ago and connected us (my sisters and I) back to the Robinsons. Although my sisters have kept better connections with him than I have, I have so enjoyed getting to know, even if just for a few years, my cousin. Thank you, Philip, and you and Sheri have fun on the other side. Vicky Robinson

I knew your father Phil Robinson during my service with Chevron in the Machine Shop. He was a good friend and a very nice person to work with! He will be surely missed! My late father inlaw was Cliff Worden who worked also with PA during his years at Chevron. Our sincere condolences Mike and Julie Claydon
