Neil Cory Robinson, aged 66, passed away on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at his residence in Glenmoore, Pennsylvania, surrounded by his loved ones. He was formerly of Middletown, New Jersey.

Neil was born in Red Bank, New Jersey, the son of the late William and Jeanne (Nixon) Robinson. He was the beloved husband of Stephanie M. (Romano) Robinson, with whom he shared 21 years of marriage. Neil was a kind and devoted man who always prioritized his family and friends. After earning a Marine Engineering degree, he proudly served as a US Merchant Mariner before embarking on a successful 30-year career with NJ American Water. Those who knew him will remember his larger-than-life personality and incredible sense of humor, which had a way of brightening any room. He cherished time spent with loved ones, enjoying family vacations, fishing, boating, and working on cars. Neil deeply instilled strong family values in his children and grandchildren, passing on his vast knowledge and wisdom. His humor, presence, and unwavering spirit will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In addition to his wife, Neil is survived by his children: Julia Robinson of Downingtown, PA, Laura Menzel (Steve) of Exton, PA, and Megan Bodeker (Christopher) of Beachwood, NJ; grandchildren: Ethan Porter, Aiden Porter, Christopher Porter, Ryan Menzel, Molly Menzel, Nora Menzel, Benjamin Bodeker, and Cooper Bodeker; great-grandchild: Corey Lee Porter; brother: Brian Robinson (Georgette); sister-in-law: Karen Robinson; and many nieces, nephews, and other extended family. In addition to his parents, Neil was preceded in death by his brother, Dr. William Robinson.

A celebration of life service will be held at a late date.
