Harry Robinson Obituary
Bud was a veteran, a railroader, a union leader, a musician, a cartoonist, a painter (trains, usually), a tomato farmer, a ski boat captain, a fisherman, a woodworker, a Canucks fan, a cat lover, a sass-master, a tall tale spinner, and he was a loving husband and father. He is missed by his wife Claire, his sons Curtis (Dianne), Kenton (Bernie) and Cliff (Jodi) and grandkids Connor, Ryan, Jerome, Natalie, Noelle, Jonah and Ethan.
The family would like to thank the squad of health care professionals that provided exceptional care during the course of his illness, namely his physicians, Bruce Newmarch and Lee Jonat, his home care team led by Marylee Weski, and the staff of Ponderosa. (Thanks for putting up with him and his usually funny, but sometimes pretty inappropriate stories about his misspent youth).
Friends are invited to the family home at 334 Ridge Road, Kamloops on Saturday, August 25, 2018 - drop in anytime between 1:00pm-4:00pm. Have a coffee, share some stories, and leave with a free painting of a train, please.

Dad.....I was thankful to see you before you left. I remember all the morning hockey practices you got up for and all the road trips you drove us and others to so we could play. The sacrifices made so we could enjoy things that were hard to afford. I learned so much from you. Discipline, a work ethic and the simple things like respect and compassion for others. The lessons passed on to my brothers and I and our success is a tribute to you and live on as your legacy. I wish every kid was gifted with the opportunity to have a great role model in their life. You were a simple, hard working, loving, tough small town guy who built a life for our family. I know that you were very proud of the men that we became and can rest assured that you were a very big part of this. Thank you for everything....every moment. I love you and miss you already Dad.....Curtis
PS: I've finally forgiven you for kicking me out at 17....LOL....Bye; Love you

You will truly be missed but we still have the memories we will not forget.
It still amazes me how he could name all the engineers by the whistle blowing as they passed the house

Bud and Claire were surrogate parents to a great number of children in our community. Rare to have such people who selflessly acted as such positive role models to us boys at Dallas school. Gave so much of themselves and their time. We love and respect you coach. Paul Cordonier
