Not sure what to say?

I was blessed to have the distinct honor of working directly with RADM Paul Robinson in the Surface Ship Directorate/PEO CLA front office at NAVSEA. RADM Robinson was my 2nd level Supervisor and one of the kindest and gentlest people whom I have ever met and worked with. Once he was promoted to the #2 position as Vice Commander at NAVSEA, he remained just as pleasant and contually maintained direct contact with our Directorate/PEO front office staff, and so it was an absolute honor to...

Dear Jeanne, You and Paul have crossed my mind from time to time. I was just texting with someone and asked if he had ever run into Paul at NAVSEA and that prompted me to do a Google Search. I was very sad to see the obituary notice. My condolences to you and family for your loss. Theresa Hembel SUPSHIP Sturgeon Bay office

PAUL ROBINSON was CO at SUP SHIP STURGEON BAY WISCONSIN from 1981to 1985. He was a friendly person and great to have as CO. I worked at RESIDENT INSPECTION OFFICE in MARINETTE, WISCONSIN. I met him again in PASCAGOULA,MS. when I worked for SUP SHIP PASCAGOULA and he was working for INGALLS in management. What a great GODLY and humble man.

My deepest condolences. He was part of the USS Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) team that has been one of the Navy's great success stories

Working with and learning from Paul Robinson was one of the best experiences of my work life. I greatly admired his knowledge and professionalism. I especially admired his ability to connect with everyone that he came in contact with and his great love of family. My sincere condolences to his family.

This is a tragic loss of a true officer and gentleman in the finest sense of the phrase. I was merely another plebe when we met at choir and glee club functions, but over the years our careers brought us together in other duties. I always looked up to him as a role model and leader. God bless Paul.

We were a year apart at the Naval Academy and I remember Paul was a very promising midshipman and his potential was evident. That he achieve flag rank is testimony to his character and leadership. We in USNA 7th Company class of 1964 send our condolences.

Kathy and I were so sorry to learn of Paul's passing, our prayers are with you Jeanne and the rest of the family in this most heart breaking time. From the first time we met Paul we knew we were in the presence of a great patriot, an astute student of U.S, Navy combat ships, great leader and most of all a friend. Having worked with Paul until his retirement from Ingalls Shipbuilding, his ability to relate to everyone in our work force and to bring his knowledge, sense of humor and...

I am saddened to learn about the passing of RADM Robinson, USN(R). Y´all have my sympathy.
