Dear Anne:

It has been a long time since we last saw each other. Phil and I shared some time together each COmmencement at Harvard and remembered Milton tales. I was there as Development Director from 1987 unti 1995 when I left for Wellesley College. I just retired from the Development Office there.

I know these are hard times for you and I wish you and your family strength as you face these times. May you find peace in the recollections of a long life together. I send along my warmest wishes to you and your family .

In sympathy,

Sad news. A good man with a big personality and heart. Always had a big smile for everyone. Ed Stebbins, Sr

I met Phil for the first time at a bonspiel about 20 years ago, shortly after I started curling. Given his outgoing, if somewhat unique personality, we quickly became curling friends. Phil, a multitalented individual with his engaging sense of humor, was always interesting conversationalist. I don't think that I ever parted a conversation with him that I was not shaking my head and laughing. He will be missed by his family, friends all who had the good fortune to meet him. RIP my friend.

We have many wonderful memories of times spent with Phil and Anne at their summer home on Swing Lane in Falmouth and at TCC. Phil and Peter were teammates on the 1992 Curling Tour to Scotland and often reminisced about the fun they had. We enjoyed staying with Phil and Anne for Cape Cod Summer Bonspiels and we will miss Phil as a gracious host at many parties. Our deepest condolences go to Anne and her family.

We are so sad hearing this news. Having met Phil and his wonderful family in Falmouth 3 short years ago we extend our deepest condolences to Anne and the entire Robertson family. I will certainly miss chatting with him while he was cutting his lawn or I was walking our dog but most definitely I can guarantee the Falmouth Road Race runners will miss him the most. RIP Phil you will be surely missed.
