So sorry to hear of the passing of Robin. I worked with her at IBM and remember her as the brightest and most intelligent person with whom I ever worked.
I was thinking about her recently and decided to enter the name into Google.
Shocked to learn the bad news.
I'll always remember Robin for her cheerful personality.

My family won't be the same without my "Auntie Robbie." I'll miss her warm greeting every time I saw her. "Hey, Linza-loo!!" she'd sing, and she'd follow that up by giving me a big hug. She made all of us feel welcome and loved the second we stepped into her home.
Growing up, I was astounded by how intelligent Auntie Robin was. She was the only person I'd met who could listen to an audio book and read another book at the same time! Her love of reading was infectious, and she generously shared her book collection and expertise with us whenever we needed help choosing something new to read. My brothers and I loved working on puzzles with her - she even left the easy pieces for us.
I can only imagine the amount of time, energy, planning and preparation that Robin put into organizing our family events. Even though there was always a seemingly impossible amount of food prepared, she still worried that I would somehow not have enough to eat, and prepared special vegetarian dishes just for me. Her cooking was delicious, and her company was even better.
I'll always remember how perfectly suited Auntie Robin and Uncle Doug were for each other, and how happy and serene Robin was when she was with Doug. I'm glad that she got to spend so much of her life with him. Their relationship had the rare quality of pure, true love that stood the test of time.
Robin brought out the best in everyone around her, and was the kind of person that others aspired to emulate. The world was a better place with her in it. She will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed.

Robbie was one of the sweetest, kindest and loving people I have ever had in my life. She was always there for me with a big smile, a big laugh and of course: a practical joke sized doggie bag of her precious cooking to take home.
After hearing of her passing, I would continuously see the clock displaying "11:11", which traditionally in our family is a reminder to reflect on all of the great people in our lives that we have lost.
Everyday I would check the time and there it was: "11:11". and it provided some sort of comfort to me. So I wrote a song about it. Here are the Lyrics:
The smell of your cooking
Still clings to the air
Like an unfinished puzzle
Or your blond curly hair
And I couldn't forget you if I tried
Because at 11:11 I know you're by my side
We'd sing away the dishes
With the girls I love the most
You would kiss me on my forehead
With some dinner to take home
And I couldn't forget you if I tried
Because at 11:11 I know you're by my side
Now at the end of the table
There sits an empty chair
And we will reflect in fond remembrance
Of the angel who sat there
And I couldn't forget you if I tried
Because at 11:11 I know you're by my side
Like a beckon from heaven
11:11
You creep in my thoughts
And I miss you so much
Yes it's you who I'm missing
Your hugs and your kissing
There's an angel in my kitchen tonight
There's an angel in my kitchen tonight

My Aunt Robin was one of the smartest people I've ever known. As a kid I remember being amazed with her ability to solve complicated brainteaser puzzles, complete a massive crossword, then single-handedly assemble a 7,000 piece jigsaw puzzle of the Japanese flag, all the while simultaneously reading a novel and listening to a book on tape.
Her book collection was a marvel to our young eyes. My brother Spencer and I would plunder the collection for Stephen King novels that she would so kindly let us borrow, knowing full well she might never get them back at all, let alone in the same condition. She would have made a small fortune off of our late fees.
There was so much to look forward to whenever we would visit, and only more so as time went on. Her laughter, the singing, the incredible food and the great conversations are things that made me so proud to be a part of this family and are what I am going to miss so much. We all love Robin and will miss her tremendously.

I feel that I know Robin through frequently chatting with Doug at the Kingston Road & Midland Avenue Tim Horton's. Many times after a conversation, I would go home hungry thinking about Doug's descripitions of Robin's gourmet cooking skills. My heart goes out to both Robin & Doug's family.

Robin is leaving the world a better place for having been in it. Always loving, kind and giving. She would make your day.
I will miss her in so many ways. Robin was her authentic self and I think we all picked up on that.
I love how Robin would see another side to things that no one else thought of. Always so insightful.
Robin always came up with so many ways to make food taste even better than you thought it could.
I remember asking Robin when she first got hooked on cooking. She said it was one Christmas as a kid when she asked for an Easy Bake Oven. What she got was a huge basket filled with baking things but no Easy Bake oven. Aunt Eileen said that Robin could use her big oven because she did not see the sense in making an Easy Bake size cake. How do you share that?
Robin said that she started baking with the things she got in that basket. Everyone loved eating it and she was hooked from then on. The rest is history. I loved that story and will miss sharing things with Robin.
Robin you are always cherished, Love You, Mal
Over the years I have come to enjoy cooking our family dinners "Chef Colihandro".
Robin always had a tip or three to improve on my culinary art. That made our family dinners that much better. Thanks to Robin I now know what the hell "Panko?" is.
Think of you often, in my heart always, Colin

Kim:
The tributes that you, Mo, David and Linda wrote about Robin are both beautiful and poignant and so clearly speak to the love that the LeVon siblings have for Robin.
Although Robin left this world far too early, what she gave to her family, Dougie B and friends will live decades longer than she.
I am honoured that I had the opportunity to know Robin, to see the love that she had of family and the very special relationship that she and Dougie shared.
For that, I thank you Kim.
I keep thinking that some people (and in this case) families, share a love/bond/joy/laughter that most in life never experience. And that is the family LeVon.
What a privilege is has been to be witness and share in this.
Much love.

It's odd the things you realize you're going to miss when you lose someone...
Whenever there was a major holiday dinner, (major, being defined as one involving a turkey over 25 lb.) at some point I would end up in the kitchen with my sister Robin, aka "Beans". Years ago it started with me just wandering in to idly stir the gravy and chat. The production of her gravy was much like the production of maple syrup. There was a gigantic two-burner-covering pan filled with a watery liquid that would gently boil all afternoon until it condensed down to pure flavour. Eventually I was entrusted to carving the giant bird that would emerge from the oven. I looked forward to the opportunity to escape from the din of the rest of the extended family for a bit to grab a glass of wine and hang out in the kitchen with Robin. For a short time, I would get to be the sorcerer's apprentice and we would have a good 45 minutes or so alone to catch up. I'll miss that.
When she was very young, Robin would wake up in her crib in the middle of the night and evidently get bored. When she realized there was no escape from her crib, she would grab the top rail and shake forward and back until the crib would move. Eventually she learned to control it and would pilot the crib across the room, through the door and down the hall! This is one of my favourite family stories that exemplifies Robin's strength of will. I will miss her quiet determination and persistence.
I'll miss the blissful smile Robin would get when she would wrap her arms around the neck of her Dougie-B.
Whoever said "Beans, Beans are good for your heart", was a very wise person. I've proved the theory to be true because as it turns out, not having Beans is very bad for my heart.
Linda LeVon
June 11, 2013
My name is Linda LeVon, I'm not one of Robin's biological sisters, but I have certainly felt like one for the past 32 years!
Robin was always the smartest person in the room, we all knew it, but it did not come with an inflated ego, arrogance or condescension on Robin's part, nor was it ever flaunted. Robin did not command centre stage, did not seek the spotlight or draw attention to her many accomplishments. She was most comfortable and effective operating in the wings, working behind the scenes, meticulously organizing and setting the stage before the curtain went up. But we all knew… that without the Director, the Orchestra Leader and Backstage Manager, the show quite simply does not go on, and we were always grateful and appreciative of Robin's silent and unassuming ways in all she had created and produced.
I was always interested and fascinated to hear what project Robin was currently working on. She seemed to always land in the middle of an assignment that would have perplexed and immobilized the rest of us. Most of us would say to our Boss, "You want me to what??? …And that too??? …That's like two things… that's like a lot!" But not Robin… Robin's gift was that she was able to see the whole picture and break it down into digestible sequential portions and execute a logical plan.
One task that comes to mind that Robin was contracted for when working with IBM, was to produce a group photo of their Nation Wide Upper Management Team. Seems simple enough… until you think about it. This is a picture that would include over a hundred individuals from across the country!!! She had to find out who should be included, contact their assistants to solicit their co-operation, find a mutually acceptable date for the photo, have them dressed uniformly, book flights, accommodation, arrange meals, transportation, entertainment…. the details were endless! I remember sitting across from her at a Sunday night LeVon Roast Beef dinner asking, "Robin, doesn't that seem like an insane amount of organization and preparation for one picture?"
Her answer was quite profound and memorable… She said, "YES Linda, it was!!!!!"
Meanwhile... the rest of us at the table were still trying to figure out which was our salad fork!!!! But that was Robin, no big deal… no fanfare…just mission accomplished…pass the gravy….
And as if herding IBM cats for a photo shoot wasn't complicated enough… Next up for Robin was an IBM and Toronto Blue Jay collaboration where teachers were solicited to submit names of their students who showed a good effort and positive attitude in school and they along with the person who made the most impact on their young lives and helped them achieve their level of success, would be treated to a Blue Jay game. Robin had to send out letters to teachers & students selected, their parents or guardians for signed permission, contact the student's chosen mentor, book and distribute tickets and concession vouchers. In addition to all that, Robin put together individualized loot bags for each student, consisting of a duffle bag containing Blue Jay merchandise, toys & candy. And what I mean by personalized loot bags… is that Robin also organized each child's bag to contain an 8 x 10 glossy photo of their name appearing on the CNE Jumbotron. To accomplish that, each name was programmed to come up by itself on the screen of the scoreboard, a photo was taken, printed and put into a specific bag for a specific kid. This wasn't just for a dozen or so of students… this was for two whole sections of kids at the ballpark, to be hand delivered to them during the ballgame! And somewhere amidst all this precision of organization and implementation… Robin found time to insert a few additional names on the Jumbotron … names of kids who were not selected as exhibiting remarkable effort by their teachers… names of kids who weren't really kids, but kids at heart… like Ian Wood! Who could possibly do all this and find time to play???? Only Robin!!!! She's doing all this….. meanwhile the rest of us are holding up two black socks asking… "Do you think these two match… Does the ribbing on this one seem a titch longer to you??????"
But what I will always remember and treasure most, is my memory of first meeting Robin. But first a brief background story…
The LeVon's were quite fond of vacationing as a family in Varadero Cuba and were frequent guests at the "KAWAMA" Resort. Not surprisingly, over the years they had become close friends with the bartenders there, and in particular one Cuban fellow named "Rudy" who adored Robin & Eileen. Now, Rudy fancied himself a good looking guy and during one happy hour was engaged in a, "No, I'm better looking than you," conversation with Robin. Keep in mind that 'Linda', pronounced Leenda means "pretty" in Spanish. Robin was saying "Mi Leenda", to Rudy who would respond, "No, mi Leenda, tu es Fea"… (No you're ugly). Robin would repeat, "Mi no fea, mi Leenda" to which Rudy good naturally replied… "Yeah, Leenda Like My Monkey!"
Fast forward a few years and David brings me home for the first of many Sunday night Roast Beef Dinners to his parent's Bruce & Eileen's & introduces me to his family. "Everyone, this is Linda"… To which Robin, doing a puzzle at the dining room table at the time, looks up, sits up straight, smiles and says, "Leenda like my Monkey!" I thought.. I've been there all of ten seconds and they're already calling me names… I'm so IN!!! Fast forward a decade and a half and our daughter Lindsay who may have been 10 or so at the time says to me that we can all have our very own e-mail address, it's free, and what did I want mine to be. I had no idea what she was talking about and asked, "I dunno… what's yours?" Lindsay's was GummyBear@***.com, Mason's was 'Mas the car guy'. Spencer was 'Spin the cool guy'. Even Blake who was one at the time had an account set up for him… 'Blake eats pooh'… I think Spencer may have had a hand in that!!! So, I distinctly remember thinking… this e-mail thing… I don't ever see this catching on… or me ever using it.. But OK… I'll play along… So the first name that came to mind was Linda like my monkey! Only problem was that it was one letter too long, so after much deliberation, I wisely decided to remove the E in monkey rather than removing the E in like…. Think about that on the car ride home…
To my surprise e-mailing became a thing. Who knew??? NOT me!!!! … and I have for the past 18 years been telling banks… schools… doctors… government departments, my e-mail address… Linda like my monkey… no E in Monkey @ ***.com… All the while thinking …. Damn You Robin LeVon!!! … And then last month…. this is a true story… I was thinking I really should cancel that Linda like my monkey, no E in Monkey @***.com account because at almost 60 years old, maybe it's just a little too odd… and, I always feel compelled to tell the story of its origin and really… the guy at Mr. Lube wasn't all that interested… But I didn't cancel it… And now when I check my 'Linda like my monkey, no E in monkey @***.com account, I say,
"Thank you Robin LeVon, for making me feel so welcomed so many years ago…
God bless you for being in my life, Robin LeVon…
and I will miss you terribly, Robin LeVon.
Robin was very trusting. (with her hair & my scissors!)

As the baby of the family, I would like to say a few words about my sister Robin's wonderful attributes.
Robin was so smart.
When we were very young, on Sundays our family gathered in our recreation room along with some of our Aunts and Uncles. We kids would entertain everyone and Dad would capture our many talents on his reel-to-reel tape recorder. I told jokes, David and Mo sang songs, Lesley told ‘secrets'…like, “Hello out there in tape recorder land. I make 10 cents more allowance than Robin. Hahahaaaaaa!” Robin on the other hand would entertain us by turning fractions into decimals. …”1/4= .25 … ½= .50”.
Robin was so hard working.
She has worked from the time she was 15 years old. During a few summers she worked at the ‘Safety Supply Company' where they must have given out a lot of ‘free samples' because our family first-aid-kit became very impressive and grew exponentially every summer she was there.
Robin was so funny.
When we were very young and the mood struck her, little Robin would climb up the ladder in our garage and go up onto the ramp to get a pair of large men's coveralls down. She'd put them on and stuff them with pillows. She wore a mask of a bald head with false nose and mustache topped off with one of Dad's old fedoras and wore a pair of Dad's big shoes. To our glee, she would transform herself into “Uncle Fatty”. No one knows what first inspired Rar to invent Uncle Fatty, other than that she loved to make us laugh.
Rar stopped dressing up as Uncle Fatty a long time ago, but never stopped captivating us with her “Bunny Face”. She often pulled that one out of her hat for us at Easter. We've all tried to do it…but no one could do that hysterical ‘bunny-face like she could.
Robin was quite competitive.
This may surprise some of you. But if you ever played ‘Spite and Malace' or ‘Rummy Cube' with Rar you'd know what I mean. Whether we were at home or the cabin or the cottage, Rar and I would play these ‘knock-em-down-drag-em-out' games for hours at a time. We both basked in the delight of our wins. Dougie or Alex would walk into the room and recognise the ‘gloat factor' and know immediately who was winning at any given time.
Robin was very loyal and patient.
Robin and Dougie have been engaged for about 40 years. Like in any relationship, there are ups and downs. Their relationship has been 99% ups. I remember in the ‘early years' if Dougie and Rar ever split up, it was never serious enough to last longer than a week. They always reconciled by the weekend because Dougie never missed a LeVon roast beef Sunday dinner.
We're so grateful that Rar had Dougie by her side for most of her life…and ours.
We share so many wonderful memories of Robin.
We all loved her so much and miss her dearly.
We're going to miss her like crazy!

I had the great honour and privilege of being one of Robin's sisters, and the middle child of the 5 LeVon siblings.
Lesley is our eldest, then came our dear Robbie, then me, then our brother David, and Kimmy is our youngest. Because all 5 of us were only 6 years apart, we were all very close, and continued to be over all these many years.
As a matter of fact, for a couple of years, we all attended John A. Leslie Public School - at the same time – much to the delight or chagrin of our teachers! Lesley, who was the first there, had to earn all kudos she received in school, while, if I was lucky and had the same teachers as Robin, I got to ride on her coattails - Robin was always the teachers' pet!
This was something we got very used to over the years, as even to our parents, who weren't supposed to have favourites, Robin was the golden girl. But we didn't mind! She was our favourite too!
To encourage us all to be more like the wonderful and helpful Robin, our parents would offer special rewards to the child that helped Mom the most each week. Robin was always the most helpful. It was no contest; the rest of us weren't even in the running! Robin's rewards just kept accumulating, and to pay up, at one point Dad offered to take her with him on his upcoming business trip to San Francisco. Dad's trip got cancelled, and Robin never did get to go, but it became quite the family joke after that.
Being only 13 months apart and the same height for a while, many people who saw us together all the time, thought Robin and I were twins - till I grew considerably taller than her that is!
We did everything together. With skipping and jumpsey, Lesley , David or little Kimmy were also included, but most often, we just played together.
When we played dolls, Robin had the beautiful Barbie and I had the much less glamorous Skipper.
When we played with toys, we occasionally fought over the same ones, and I still have the scar where, when Mom told Robin “Give that wagon back to Mo!” she really gave it to me.
When we played Cowboys and Indians, Robin was always Wild Bill Hickok, and I always had to be the goofy sidekick Jingles.
As we got older, all us kids attended swimming lessons at Birchmount Pool and skating lessons at Scarborough Arena, but Robin and I did many things on our own. Often we went to see horror films at the Birchcliff or the Scarborough Movie Theatres - and together, we would hide in the washroom during the scariest parts.
We also went to Cliffside Bowling alley with girl friends. I remember that it was in the women's washrooms there, that the ever curious Robin talked me into “donating” 5 cents of my hard earned allowance so we could find out just what it was that they sold in those little machines on the wall. Naïve as we were, we still had no idea what we had bought. Mom got quite a chuckle out of us little girls spending our money on - of all things - a tampon!
After being so close for so long, I will never forget the summer when Robin spent her own money to go to a live-in horse camp! I so wanted to go with her. I couldn't believe that she would leave me behind! I missed her like crazy!
That fall, Robin went off to highschool with Lesley, started wearing make-up, and met new friends; even boys! I missed her like crazy!
Shortly after that, Robin met Doug, got engaged, and the rest is history!
Doug was the love of her life, but our Robin loved many things.
She loved planning, shopping, preparing for and hosting all the big family dinners, their famous football parties, and of course Doug's annual surf and turf birthday extravaganza!
She loved working hard.
She loved all of us singing in her kitchen, but unfortunately she couldn't carry a tune for love nor money.
She loved their combination theatre / shopping weekends with Janice and Glen – But let's face it, she just plain loved going shopping!
She loved Doug giving her one of his famous foot rubs! Especially after a lot of shopping!
She loved to read – and you would always find her with a book – until she realized that with books-on-tape, she could multi-task …. And she loved to multi-task.
She loved to make and give away her wonderful jams - and her now world famous “Robin's Rib Spice”! – as our friends in the United States, Mexico, and even in Bond Head know it's worth.
She loved to make the most gargantuan radish roses you have ever seen – and they were such works of art, that most people wouldn't ever think of eating one! She made the world's best gravy too!
She loved their dog Bear.
She loved to decorate the house for Christmas …..and she usually had her first tree up by the day after their Grey Cup party.
She loved creamed corn, and she loved to hate broccoli, and to tease me about my having served it to her once, and making her violently ill!
She loved when Doug would have her car cleared off and all warmed up when she was ready to head to work on snowy mornings.
She loved her yard that she filled with beautiful plantings every spring. She loved her new swing out there too.
She loved spoiling her niece and nephews, and sending them home with the most amazing doggie bags.
She loved to do jigsaw puzzles – any puzzles for that matter! She even did her crosswords in pen! …..because she could!
She loved to always add “that little bit extra”, whether it was extra chocolate chips in her cookies or extra blueberries in her muffins or pancakes ….. but then Robin was like that, always giving or doing “that little bit extra” in all aspects of her life!
She loved, and was the best daughter ever to our parents – and I'm so grateful that she and Doug looked after our mom so well, and for so many years!
Most of all, Robin loved her Dougie B; …..her partner in doing all these things she loved!
….. We are all going to miss her like crazy!

I remeber a demure, gentle and generous soul who was not one to seek attention yet gave her friendly attention to all. And then there were the other times...Robin's great sense of humour, generous smile, twinkle in her eye and incredible laugh could unintentionally capture everyone's attention. I can't recall seeing Robin without Doug - two soulmates who have loved and cared for each other deeply! My heart-felt condolences go out to you Doug, Mo, Kim, Leslie, David and families. Robin will be deeply missed by all! Cheers Robin. I will remeber you often.

We meant to say the LeVon Ladies were the only people who could make JIGSAW PUZZLES COOL!
It was sitting around the dining table with the Ladies while the Men sat in the living room watching TV, that they would share many fun stories. Robin offered our Son Colton to try water wings for the first time ever in their pool, while the whole family encouraged and cheered him on. Sooooo many great memories...we will cherish Robin always. Our Love to Doug and the entire Family. Bryan, Judy and Colton Wood. Xoxoxo

We were blessed to have had the chance to spend many good times with Robin, Doug and the LeVon family. Some times you luck out in life! Ian married Mo and we not only lucked out huge having Mo as the Best Sister-in-law/Best Aunt ever, also got the entire LeVon family with the package. They were the family you always wish you could be a part of and they had a way of making you feel you were one of them. We spent many special family occasions with the family and Robin was always gracious and welcoming with arms stretched out to great you. She radiated being with family and friends having a good time. Her laugh and smile were contagious. Who else but Eileen, Robin and the LeVon sisters could make cross word puzzles cool? Robin touched all our hearts. Robin was one of those people that always made you feel like everything you said was interesting and important. She had so many gifts and we will remember all of them always as we will her. Rest in peace lovely lady. Sincerely Bryan, Judy and Colton Wood xoxoxo

Brother Doug I will never forget the first time you brought Robin to our house in Uxbridge. That would be about 44 yrs ago. She was so quiet, that you told me if I wanted her to talk , she had a string you pulled in her back. Well we never had to worry about that. She soon felt at home and we all fell in love with her and have loved her every day since then. I will miss her more the words can say, but will always remember her smile, laughter. She leaves us with great memories. My love and hugs to you and Robins family and friends.

Her dedication and commitment to her work and her co-workers was incredible. Kind and gentle is how we will always think of Robin.
Our condolences go out to Doug and Robin's family.
Rest in peace Robin. We love you and we miss you.

I had the honour of working with Robin. She was both a mentor and a friend. I will always be grateful for the things she taught me both for work and for life and will miss her more than I can say,especially through random acts of Easter.

I will miss your beautiful smile and laugh !!!
You were the best "Grey Cup Party" hostess. I will never forget the night that you and Uncle Doug took me out for dinner and got me hooked on shrimp!
You were a fantastic Aunt and I am glad you gave Uncle Doug and all of your family and friends so many wonderful great times!!!
