Blessings. Ken was my first pastor many many years ago in Corcoran. I lost touch. His wife my Sunday School teacher. His children my friends. Ken is responsible for leading me to Christ. Although not always the best at staying close to Christ the foundation set by Ken has always been with me. Thank you Ken. May the Good Shepard comfort each of you during this journey.

Ken become a friend and mentor for me when I arrived in North Puget Sound Presbytery in June of 1975. Over the years he was a devoted and loving friend when I was widowed and during all the years I was pastor of Cascade View Presbyterian Church. My last wonderful memory of Ken is at my retirement party in 2013 as he hosted and led the laughter and "jokes" to transition me into being retired.

Memories of high school, college and seminary flooded my mind as I learned of Ken's passing. Those treasures will still make me smile for a long, long time. Blessings on the whole family.

May the peace of Christ surround you all and know that our prayers are with you. A gentle man with a heart for everyone. Thank you for the privilege of knowing you and being a small part of that remarkable life.

From that first service began the only time in my life-to-date that I have attended regularly. Ken led the first sunrise service I had ever been a part of and these many years later those...

As much as I was truly saddened to hear of Pastor Robinson's passing, I am filled with joy and love at the memories I have of him. At a time in my life when I needed true counseling and support, he stepped up without needing to be asked and helped my mother and me immeasurably. Pastor Robinson's demonstration of Christian love remains as a goal for me to achieve in my dealings with family, friends, and especially strangers.

I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the memorial service...
