Will
WE will remember you well. Your love of movies, the New Yorker and the New York Times made wonderful shared time here in Denver. We remember our trips together, New York where you learned about the West Side and the Village, including dinner at the Waverly Inn and 18th and 8th. I remember our famous trip two years ago to Andover and Princeton, pushing you in the wheelchair all around those rolling hills and visiting the sites including your famous dorm room with your Princeton friends. You were not always an easy man but you were beloved. Hail, Wayfarer! John and Robert

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Clarence Willard Robinson, Jr. our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Clarence. And to Clarence it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during WW-II while serving in the U.S. Army. Clarence, we bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,341 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Clarence’s family and loved ones.
