Dwight Robison Obituary
Hanover - Dwight R. "Rob" Robison, Jr., 64, who's 65th birthday would have been on Easter Sunday, entered into God's eternal care on Thursday, April 9, 2020 at UPMC Pinnacle Hanover Hospital with his wife of 43 years and two sons by his side (the only ones allowed to be there due to COVID - 19).
Born on Tuesday, April 12, 1955, he was the beloved son of the late Dwight Robison, Sr. and Grace Virginia Robison. Rob served his country as a Military Police Officer in the US Army at Fort Myers, VA and the community of Penn Township as a Police Officer for 28 years. After his retirement, he worked part-time doing police car maintenance for Penn Township for eleven years.
Rob enjoyed bicycle riding and later fishing and kayaking, but "Bappy's" love of his life was his grandchildren and attending all of their activities. He was a great handyman and will be deeply missed by his family and many friends.
Rob is survived by his loving wife, Pamela; two proud sons, Dwight Robison, III and his wife Amanda, and Lance Robison and his wife Jessica; four dear grandchildren, Dylan, Noah, Sydney and Luke; and his grand "fur babies", Liam, Ritter and Luna. He preceded in death by his sister, Lisbeth.
In compliance with health and public safety directives during this time, the services for Dwight will be held privately.

Heavenly Father, Early this morning we rise to meet You with a thankful heart. We ask that You go before us today and make the crooked paths straight. You said eye has not seen, nor ear heard, and no human has conceived the things You have prepared for us. Today I am asking that You would meet the needs of Your people. Take the difficult challenges that many are facing in these uncertain times and give them the answers to the decisions they need to make. Give them the strength to overcome any obstacle they may face today, for it is You from who we draw our strength. Help us to remember today that every path walked is walked for a reason, and everyday is a blessing, as the Holy Spirit continues to lead our way. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen.

Pam; I am shocked and saddened to learn of Dwight's passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
During my encounters with Dwight, he always treated me with respect and kindness. I recall Dwight was the officer on scene of a very minor traffic accident involving my newly licensed daughter. Although a minor and routine call, Dwight handled the matter as if my daughter was his child, with concern and compassion. May Dwight watch over us cyclists while we are out there doing what he and Pam loved. Dwight, Thank you for your service to us all.

I am so sad to hear of this. I am a cashier at Walmart and for years have talked to "Bappy". Sydney and Luke were with him on his trips when they were young. He was so happy to be with them. He will be missed greatly.

I am so sorry to see of Robs passing! We first met Rob and Pam and their boys in the 90s when we all bicycled together with the Hanover Cyclers. We shared many good times together during that season! Rob was such a nice man, with a great laugh who was always willing to help. In more recent days Rob would stop to see me and chat for a bit at work when dropping off or picking up a car from Service. He did just that not that long ago. I never dreamed that was our final visit together! I sure will miss him! My heartfelt condolences to Pam and the rest of the family! - Tyler Mummert

Our sincere condolences to Pam and family. Dwight was an awesome guy and will be sorely missed. I always enjoyed his slow drawl conversations, his laugh, and the disapproving look with eye roll and head shake he'd give me when I'd offer a stupid opinion during a mutual aid call. God Speed Rob, we'll take the Watch from here.

In your mercy turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life, and the sorrow of parting into the joy of heaven; through our Saviour Jesus Christ, who died, rose again, and lives for evermore.
