Henry was truly a special person. May his memory be a blessing

I was a student of Mr. Robinson in 6th grade. He was a great influence on me in a very difficult time of my life. So sorry to read of his passing.

So here it is nine years later. And I think of you so very often Henry. Knowing you and working with you permanently altered my approach to Life. No thought or idea too "out there" or crazy or impossible.

It is with a heavy heart that I discovered about his passing. While I know there are many people who had closer relationships with Henry than I, he is one of the people that I consider a true mentor and friend in my life. He was a real inspiration for how I have moved on in my life professionally, and there is a little bit of Henry living on in every...
