I had Mr. Robinson, my first semester at SAC. Prior to enrolling in his Biology class, I had never liked school, and had never performed well.
Mr. Robinson was an excellent professor, and made Biology, not only interesting, but, fun as well.
Without his class, I would have never engaged in the advanced sciences.
Fly high, Mr Robinson.

Mr. Robinson is one of the most memorable of biology teachers ever - I say that because his voice is still with me many years later. He clearly shouted out what we students needed to know like a town crier, and know it well he did. It was in the short span of a second summer session that I had the privilege of being in his class. His fairness and complete commitment to his craft will remain an inspiration for the rest of my days.

Jay was a wonderful educator and our #1 choice for A&P classes here at SAC. He worked so well with students, giving them the benefits of not only his expertise but his desire for them to be successful as well. He will be missed. I thank him for his time and support.

Jay was my longtime colleague at San Antonio College. I also considered him a mentor and friend and I will sorely miss him. Jay taught Biology for over 41 years. He taught, mentored, and instructed thousands of students and I am certain that they will go on to make a positive difference in this world. Descansa en pas amigo.

Rest in peace, my old friend, I will always remember the times we had in Kingsville when we were room-mates in the late 60's.
