"Father’s Day feels different this year," Phyllis said. "It’s my first without my dad here, and I miss him deeply. But even in the ache, I see God’s goodness in the men around me — my husband, and now my son as he raises two sons of his own. What a gift to witness the love, strength, and faith passed down from one generation to the next."
Phil passed away on May 25 at the age of 79 after battling Alzheimer's Disease. He and Phyllis connected for the first time in early 2020 after she discovered he was her biological father only a few months prior. In November 2019, Phyllis learned from a DNA test that the man who raised her was not her biological father, leading her to find out that her biological mother, after having an affair with Phil in the 1970s, placed her up for adoption.
Phil, who shared four sons with wife Kay Robertson, did not know Phyllis existed until she reached out to him.
During the five years that they knew each other, Phyllis and Phil developed a close relationship. She says he and Kay welcomed her into the Robertson family with open arms.
In the weeks since Phil’s death, Phyllis has posted several tributes on Instagram. In one, she wrote, "These are just a small glimpse of the countless moments we hold dear. We’re truly moved by the overwhelming love and prayers shared by so many whose lives were impacted by Dad. We wish we had more time, but we have overwhelming joy knowing he has met Jesus face to face."
