Helen B. Robinson

My hearfelt and deepest sympathy goes out to Ms Robinson's family she seemed like a WONDERFUL LADY. She is such an encouragement to me. I hope you can find comfort in your loss. I always turn to the bible for hope, places like Revelation and Psalms have always brought me relief, I hope it can can for you too.

I loved her no-nonsense, no saccharine style of answering the phone. "Red Sox" - and there was never any "Have a nice day!"



My favorite moment was late in September 1999 when I was in the lobby waiting to see a Sox exec, I overheard Helen after completing a call mutter out loud to herself, "Never mind about the dear stuff!"



Clearly, someone must have told her, "Thank you, dear."



Just like the old waitresses at Durgin-Park, she was her own woman and a New England tradition in and of herself.

Helen will never be forgotten by true Red Sox fans!

God Bless Helen and her family. One could only hope the rest of the Red Sox employees could be as dedicated and professional as she was.

I was saddened to hear of the death of Helen Robinson. My Dad aka Joe Daddy use to work at the Red Sox ticket office during the late 50's and early 60's until his death in "64". I rememeber Helen well, Joe Daddy use to bring me up to her office to visit and I use to love to go see her, she was always smiling and so happy to see me. I wish I had kept in touch with her through the years, but there were many days when she use to come to mind. My Dad had many friends at the Red Sox ticket office in those days, some of the names that come to mind are Mae Fitzpatrick, Dominic, Johnny Pesky and many others. I have many happy memories of all those nice people.

We know that Helen is up in Heaven showing all those angels how to answer the phones with a pleasant voice and smile. May She rest in Peace.

Sincerely

Betty (Molloy) Mulhane

During our many years with the Boston Red Sox, Helen was an exceptionally caring woman who went out of her way to make us feel welcome. She is a legacy and will truly be missed.

DID'NT KNOW HELEN BUT I LOST A FELLOW AMERICAN.MAY GOD HOLD HER GENTLY IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Calling Fenway Park and not hearing Helen's voice will change the place forever. What a nice lady.

I know what it feels like to lose a family member i lost my mom best of wishes to everyone you knows this wonderful ladie

The old park won't be the same without switchboard operator Helen Robinson, who died this week. Ms. Robinson ruled that park. Tom Yawkey said he didn't want calls put through to the clubhouse in 1941, and they hadn't been when she passed away. But if she liked you ... there was no secret any GM or owner could keep from you. Some 20 years ago, I'd call and ask for Haywood Sullivan. "He says he's busy," she'd reply, then tell me what GMs he'd talked to that day. Helen Robinson earned the name "St. Helen."

My thoughts and sympathy are with you. It was always a pleasure to call Fenway and hear Helen's friendly voice.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the family of Helen at this time of bereavement. Just last Tuesday, when the CSJs sang the National Anthem at Fenway Park, I had forwarded Aunt Helen a special greeting. Today, after her final graduation, she is a member of the Robinson Celestial Choir, singing the praises of her well-served Lord.

Be assured of special love and prayers to Helen's everyloving family, the Cleggs.

Helen, you were always there with a smile, a warm greeting or just a friendly face. You always helped me with the simplest request. You will be greatly missed. My most heartfelt condolences to your family and the Red Sox organization.

To the family of Helen B. Robinson and the entire Red Sox Organization --

My prayers and love are with you at this unbelievably sad time. Helen was loved!! I heard of Helen's dedication to the Red Sox on my many visits to Fenway Park -- although I was not privileged to meet her. Her loss will be felt by each and every person -- her family and her adopted family --
The Boston Red Sox.

Love,
