Erin & The Robinson Family-

When I learned of George's passing, I was crushed! George and I worked at Charter One Bank, he was a Commercial Loan Officer and I was a Financial Consultant. We left the Bank the same month to begin the journey of becoming business owners and both opened Nationwide Insurance Agency's in 2005. George and I trained together and got to know each other very well. He was witty and funny and an incredibly supportive friend. We went through so many similar things together; we started a new business the same month, got married around the same time, left the Bank the same time, and left Nationwide around the same time. He and I spoke at least once a week, even after we both left Nationwide following the financial crisis. What I know about George is that he was a very loving Dad, Husband, and Son, and Brother! He told me stories about his family and loved his family dearly. I miss my boy George!

Robinson Family - My true condolences on your loss. George was a great guy, I wish I had known him earlier than the few short years we worked together. We shared the same questionable sense of humor and ability to imitate Flip Wilson at the drop of a hat. Erin, I too lost my father at an early age and I know how hard it is - remember the good times with your Dad, I will always remember the laughs we shared. He loved you dearly and his spirit will always be with you.

George will be sadly missed. He was always the entertainer, with his quick jokes and replies. George could make you laugh in any situation. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

The Robinson Family,

I am so sorry for your shocking loss. George was my best friend throughout high school and college. Between the years of basketball, cross country, track, St. Cloud State, and the U of M, we were as close as brothers. He was my best man at my wedding because he was always a great friend to me. Even though we hadn't remained as close in recent years, when we did talk it was like old times - laughing and joking like we were still in high school. I will remember George as a driven and funny guy but most of all as a great friend. You are all in my prayers.

To Erin and the Robinson Family,
I was so sorry to hear the news of George's passing. I have worked with George for the past few years and he provided much humor and enjoyment to me and the rest of his coworkers. I talked with him only a few weeks ago and he spoke about how much he enjoyed his week off during Erin's spring break. I hope you can keep memories such as these close to your heart as you go through this difficult time.

I was shocked and saddened by George's untimely passing. I know everyone at the FDIC will miss his quick wit, good nature, and sense of humor. May God bless you and your family in this trying time and quickly replace your tears of grief with fond memories of George.

To Erin and the Robinson Family,
I'm shocked and deeply saddened to hear that George passed. Just spoke to him a few days before his passing. He and I worked together at Nationwide Insurance, spoke to each other regularly, and were good friends. George was a caring guy who loved his family. He had a keen sense of humor and could find comedy in any situation. He was my buddy. I"ll miss him.
