It was with great saddness that I read of Mr. Robinson's recent passing. I offer your family my sincere condolences.

Mrs. Robinson,
I was saddened to read about the death of your husband. He leaves a wonderful legacy of students and many memories. Two of my brothers took his classes, so we were fortunate as a family to know the joy of his teaching and yours!

Wishing you and Lisa peace and strength in your sorrow,

Mrs. Robinson and Lisa: Mr. Robinson was very special.... we will certainly miss him. You are in our hearts and prayers. Love,

I was saddened to read of Mr. Robinson's passing. He was my favorite teacher while a student at Menchville. It is because of him I chose the path I did in architectural design. I graduated over 25 years ago, but I never forgot him . I am truly sorry for your loss. He was a very special man. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
