Just thinking about you Uncle Jacob - remembering many conversations as I went thru life- running into you at Meijer and you dropping wisdom. Your words never fell on deaf ears. Rest easy Unk Your niece- Little Hattie

I am very grateful for this opportunity to express my appreciation for Mr. Robinson. When at Catholic Central he and another history teacher – Joe Chirco – organized a series of debates between their two groups of classes.

A true gentleman, who had a impact on countless numbers of young people, who were fortunate enough to be in his classroom. Here's to you, Mr. Robinson! May you rest in peace. Roy L.Tubergen

Mr. Robinson was a dear, sweet soul, and terrific teacher! He was a man of integrity and kindness. Mr. Robinson always had a smile and handshake when you ran into him. He was knowledgeable and precise regarding his teachings - also, what a great listener to all subject matter. Prayers for the whole Robinson Family - Mr. Robinson will be missed as much as he was appreciated. God Bless you, sir!

Mr. Robinson, thanks for all your words of wisdom and encouragement .

Sounds very crazy but I just thought of Mr Robinson the other day and thought of what a great teacher he was. Just a kind soul!

Mr. Robinson was my very first supervisor and a great one I might add. I just found this out and my heart aches! I loved Mr. Robinson like he was my own father. He was a sweet and kind man (both he and Mrs. Robinson).

My condolences and the family are in my thoughts and prayers.

You have my deepest sympathy. Dr. Robinson changed my life for the better. He will remembered as more than a teacher and more than a principal. Dr. Robinson was a life changer. He was one of my guardian angels. He will be sorrowfully missed.

My Condolences to Mr. Robinson's Family.
