My condolences to the Robinson family. What a wonderful, kind, inspiring man he was. My parents and I were truly blessed to be friends when he was just starting at WHS 1975!! So many good memories and what a career he had impacting so many young people!!! May Hope, Will and Gray find comfort knowing how loved he was!! My parents, Lib and Tom Brandon were big supporters of Harold’s efforts!

My heart aches for Harold's family; he always was so much bigger than life. I taught with Harold for many years at WHS. No one could motivate a crowd like Harold. I will forever remember his cheer at all of our pep rallies: "WHO THEY THINK GONNA BEAT THEM TIGERS!" Yes indeed...he knew how to work a crowd! When my son was in a terrible wreck in 2005, Harold called at least 2 times a week for 2 months just to check on Seth, Gordon and me. I depended on Coach Harold to adjust the air...

The passing of a good man is always a moment of sorrow. Harold Robinson was such a man. A friend in high school and one heck of a coach, he will be missed by his family and loved ones. May he rest in peace in his heavenly home and may his memories Lesson the grief of his family,friends and loved ones.

I had so much respect for Coach Robinson. Growing up in eastern NC when I did you knew his name but I got to know him personally back when I was President of the Pirate Club and he was working at ECU. He grew up with my Mom and always had a kind word to say about her which I always appreciated. When my son was going through the recruiting process his Senior year of high school for football I called Coach Robinson. I trusted his guidance, opinions and advice. He was so gracious with his...

I went to school with Gray and Will, his twins. My heart breaks for them, losing their father. I know it will happen to all of us at some point (losing a parent), but I still cannot imagine the loss. While he was an important figure in Williamston, no role is more important than being a parent. Prayers for his family and all who loved him.

Dear Tracey and all of Harold's family, There never was a friendlier, nicer fellow than Harold. I'm so glad I went to one of his book signings and was able to speak with him and receive a signed copy of his book two or three years ago. My best wishes to you all and love to Harold.
