Just heard that Phil Robertson just passed away. Love him or hate him, he was a very interesting individual who lived his life the way he wanted to
Phil Robertson
- Thread starter cnwrobb
- Start date
He was the father of the clan , right. I never much cared for the show , always seemed fake as hell , but did watch a few over the years, hell I might have even went to school with some of them , I went to 2nd 3rd and part of 4th grade in Monroe La , back in the early 60's.
Flew the family several times between Atlanta and Monroe. Every one of them, Phil especially, were gracious and pleasant and approachable by everyone. Watching them walk down the C concourse at the height of their popularity was a spectacle. They all spoke and did photos and signed things with a smile. I have nothing but good feelings toward that bunch…
Had the pleasure of meeting them at a wild game dinner in Nashville at a church of Christ. Phil was the keynote speaker. Didn’t have a clue who they were, thought they were just hillbillies. This was before they got big.
Phils walking on streets of Gold tonight. He’s home now. RIP
The old Duck Men tapes is where it’s at. Nothing fake about those, and great entertainment.
What a great man! he will be missed, but I know he’s in Heaven and wouldn’t want to come back
He was a devout Christian so no doubt he is celebrating his reward with the GOD of all grace
I had a lot of respect for Phil. He will be missed.
Fun read.

How good was Phil Robertson at football?
Editor’s note: Welcome to another installment of “How Good Was He?” It’s an occasional Playbook series in which we delve deep into the athletic pasts of celebrities.
I didn't watch much of his show but do remember this episode. I'm still laughing!
Damn right those old VHS tapes are gold. Convinced me I could indeed dip Copenhagen and blow a duck call at the same time.
The Duck Commander show.....nope. No real old school duck hunters would like that for TV mess. Good on them though for making a bunch of cash and Phil was certainly the real deal his whole life. I will say that show made too many high school kids in my area think they were a duck hunter. Lost several good swamps to a landowners grandson or nephew thinking he was now a duck hunter after buying $2000 worth of Sitka stuff and a Duck Commander sticker.

Phil is home .
I owe a debt of gratitude to him . In my quest to find peace and live as a Christian I often looked to and listened to him . Used to think how blessed he was to work and be financially successful . Enough so to be a peaceful Godly man . One day it dawned on me that I do
n't need millions of dollars to be a peaceful Godly man . Put God first and it'll work out . Read the Gospel . Reflect on the word . Everything is an opportunity to become closer or more distant with God .
Thank you for your servant Phil Robertson Father . Thank you for the witness he gave and example he set . I pray this in Jesus name
Amen .

A friend from Shreveport played with him at La Tech. He was a tight end.
He claimed Phil wasn’t a Terry Bradshaw.
He said he was obsessed with hunting ….not so much with football. He went to a few reunions , said he was humble.

I don't think anyone cares whether not he was a good football player. When it's all said and done, was he or was he not a good man and did he have a heart after God?A friend from Shreveport played with him at La Tech. He was a tight end.
He claimed Phil wasn’t a Terry Bradshaw.
I would hope, at the end of my days, people would say I was a good & Godly man rather than what my accomplishments were.
RIP Phil, you're home now. Always enjoyed the show, and loved the fact they would not back down on their Christian beliefs and told A&E to pound sand.
Never watched Duck Dynasty, but from everything I saw of the man he was a patriotic American and a Great family patriarch.
RIP, sir!

I bought Duckmen 2 from Phil about 30 years ago at Point Mouillee when I was a teen. I wore out that VHS and learned to kill cripples by biting them in the head.
About 25 years ago I bought a duckcall and hat from him, he signed the call and hat for me. The call is still on my laynard. He signed the hat "Bite em in the head, Phil".
Phil is a legend, RIP

Phil Robertson and Terry Bradshaw during the LA Tech days. Terry was Phil’s understudy until Phil moved on.
I knew Phil’s passing was coming but still sad to hear. 2024 for me personally was the toughest in my life by far. I listened to “Phil in the Woods” and “Unashamed” on Blaze TV for years but watched them again last year along with reading two of his books.
With the exception of Billy Graham, never have I listened to a man who walked the walk like Phil. Even more impressive was his transformation from a follower of the evil one to a disciple of Christ.
If you don’t know the story, Phil was living in Arkansas and owned a bar. He was a serial cheater, user of drugs, drunkard, and agnostic to the word of God. His sister was trying to bring him to Christ but Phil would not give up his love of the world. He left his wife and kids to wallow in the worldly pleasures of the evil one.
Phil convinced his sister to bring her pastor to his bar in Arkansas where he learned about grace and the eternal word of Christ.
Ultimately Phil chose the cross over this world. From that moment on Phil lived his life as a disciple of Christ spreading the word of eternal life. Phil was unashamed of spreading the word of Yeshua.
Rest easy brother…there is no more pain or heavy lifting now, you have achieved the will of the master. I look forward to meeting you in the clouds and will always be grateful for your example.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.”

I live in the Monroe, LA area. Phil Robertson and his family spoke at many Church Father/Son hunting suppers around the area. Always an inspiration to hear them.
