VALE Peter Robertson
Southern Peninsula Basketball Association extends its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of a valued member of our club, Peter Robertson, who passed away this morning.
Most affectionately known as ‘Robbo’ in the time since he joined the club, embedded himself in a number of roles within the club. Committing a significant amount of time to the development of our juniors and in 2019 also took on a position as Board of Management member.
Robbo has played an integral part of the U12 program and most recently, the Future Sharks Program. We know we have many juniors within the association that Robbo gave the best start possible to in their basketball career and life in general.
Robbo had an amazing 2019 season with his u12 boys who were runners up in the VC Reserve Grand Final. His impact on those boys was immense, improving their basketball skills, as well as developing them as young men.
What people may not know about Robbo is that he is one of only seventeen life members of Basketball Tasmania, playing a leading role developing basketball in the state. Robbo was also an integral part in the development of their high performance program.
Robbo will be missed by all, but his impact on the lives of many, will never be forgotten. We thank him for his service to the Southern Peninsula Basketball Association.
Fins Up forever Robbo!
