A touching tribute from Robertson's oldest friend in journalism, David Tanner, encapsulated the sadness that so many are feeling at this time.
"I’m heartbroken that Fraser Robertson, my oldest pal in journalism, has died," he said.
"We met at Napier Uni as kids and grew up together at STV & Sky. He’s always been there, always wearing that big grin. A fine journalist with an eye for a story, never happier than when offering help to teammates: generously sharing his time, vast knowledge and ideas. Fraz loved sport & TV, working in both gave him structure in life, especially after his comeback from major illness. We’ve lost a lovely man. I can’t believe he’s gone and I’m so terribly sad for his family."
