Not sure what to say?

Mr. Robinson served his final year as a County Legislator during my first few months as a staff member there. He was one of the most kindhearted and gentlemanly public officials I have had the pleasure of knowing. Mr. Robinson regaled me with his stories of his Negro League ballplaying days and his many years as a dedicated public servant. His commitment to his community was unwavering, and I am a better person for having known him.

Dear Family.
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Robinson. I grew up with Raynette, Barry and Brian, I have fond memories of the good old days. Mr Robinson was a role model before the term became popular. I had the pleasure to benefit from his wisdom and his example. we have lost a true community treasure.

Raynette,
You know that I will miss your father a great deal. I enjoyed his political insights and looked forward to his visit during every election. To be absent from the body is be present with the Lord, I look forward to seeing him on the other side.

Raynette.
I was so sadden to hear of Mr. Robinson passing. He was truly like family to me. He encouraged me to finish college, he taught me to drive, he supported and encourage me to be the best. I am heartbroken

Dear Family,
I will truly miss seeing and speaking with Mr. Robinson, "Bill" at community events. Bill enjoyed sharing his wisdoms, I enjoyed listening, and had the warmest smile.
He lead his life by example, grace and dignity.
May God bless you,
Francesca Mesiah

Brian, Keli and Robinson Family,
You have me and my Familys Deepest Sympathy at this time. We know you Love him, but God loves him best.

Throughout my career in public service I have met and worked with many individuals and I can honestly say that Bill Robinson stood above them all. He was a gentleman who treated everyone with dignity and respect. While I cannot be with you to share the joy of Bill's wonderful life, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Robinson family. I was proud to call Bill Robinson my friend.

He allowed me to take this the only time we met....

I offer my condolences to the family. I only met Mr. Robinson once and he treated me very nice. Rest in peace Mr. Robinson.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I was a member of the legislature with your dad and can honestly say to this day that he is one of the most kind,generous and gentlemanly people to have ever served our county, country, and his community.He was truely a class act.
I will miss him. My prayers and thoughts are with you all in this difficult time. May God bless you all.
