Danny Robinette

Please accept my sincerest sympathy at your lose. Danny was my friend for 30 years after being my boss at Hickory Memorial. We stayed in touch over the years, even after his health failed him. I'm glad that he no longer has to struggle, but will miss him terribly.

To the Robinette Family,
I knew Danny through my father, William Fondessy, who met Danny through Hospice. Dad spent time with Danny every week and would share some of his "Danny" stories with me - very interesting man. Our whole family was blessed to meet Danny at his surprise birthday party in January, clowns and all! I'm glad they spent that wonderful day together before Dad passed away in early February.

To the Robinette Family,
I first met Danny when he was skinny teenager at the First Baptist Church in Taylorsville.

His Faith and Belief in God shown throughout our conversation(s). He missed...
