ALEXANDER LAUGHLIN, Jr.
Alexander Laughlin Robinson, Jr., son of Alexander Laughlin Robinson and Martha Brooks Robinson, died peacefully at his home in Millbrook, New York on May 20, 2017. He was preceded in death by his wife, Ann Lenher Robinson; son, Christopher Lenher Robinson; and brother, Thomas Shields Robinson. He is survived by daughter, Réné, her husband, Dan; granddaughters, Martha, Charlotte and Sybil; son, Alexander, his wife, Alison; grandchildren, Lauren and Lachlan; brother, Frank Brooks Robinson and his family, and Norfolk Terrier Storm.
Mike was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 28, 1929. He attended Sewickley Academy, St. Paul's School, and Yale University. At Yale, Mike skated defense in the finals of the Frozen Four NCAA Championships. A Korean War Navy veteran, Mike served on the Lake Champlain aircraft carrier before returning to Pittsburgh to work at National Electric Product. In 1959, Mike moved to New York to work on Wall Street in capital markets prior to making his mark in the emerging No-Load mutual fund arena.
Avid outdoorsman and conservationist, Mike was an enthusiastic hunter, angler, equestrian, golfer, dog handler, and friend. Drawn to further adventure in 1986, Mike and Ann moved to Charlottesville, Virginia to build Still Pond Farm where Ann bred Thoroughbred Hunter Jumpers, Mike launched KOR Investment Advisors, and together created a nationally recognized Naturalist garden.
A devoted husband and partner, Mike's dedication to Ann's care and well-being was extraordinary and admired by all. Known for his charm across all ages, his character, his poetry, and his rhythm on the dance floor, Beady will be missed.
A memorial service will be held in New York City on September 9, 2017.
