Mr. Robinson was always kind and helpful in his dealings with the folks in and around Easley. Whether it was in his lovely store or when he helped us through some of the worse times of our lives as we dealt with the loss of family and friends. He was a force of nature who will not soon be forgotten. We, the daughters of the late Jesse and Lavenia Crenshaw, namely Diane Crenshaw Trussell, Donna Crenshaw Cox, and Nancy Edwards Cox, send you, his family, our deepest heart felt, condolences.

Please excuse the condolences of someone who never met Mr.Robinson but who felt as if I had known the renown Mr. Robinson of Easley for many years. You see, one of my best friends is his son Alfred with whom I have worked many years in Washington. When I read all of these beautiful words of condolence, it strikes me that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Many of Mr. Robinson's attributes are shared by his son Alfred. I can think of no higher complement. So I extend my sympathies to Mr. Robinson's family, especially Alfred and Sallie and their children, for the loss of a great man.

My heart and prayers go out to Mr. Robinson's family. Mr. Robinson was such a great influence on me and instrumental in my career. I will miss him so very much. He stands out as one of the most genteel and sophisticated men I have ever met. It was always so enjoyable when I would come visit him to discuss a real estate deal at Robinson's. But I knew I was going to buy something before I left :)!
It makes me so very happy when I think of him and how fortunate I was to have him put his thumbprint on me personally and my career.
I love the picture of him above and will cherish how he was always welcoming and made me feel like a better person whenever I came and saw him.

Mr. Robinson was the kindest man I've had the privledge of knowing. In all of my family's darkest and saddest days, he stood by our side, quietly speaking words of comfort and encouragement, and his strength lifted us from the despair we felt. I actually felt that he was a part of my family. I will truly miss him, for this world was certainly a much better place with him in it. My thoughts and prayers are with his precious family. Rest in peace, Sir.

Dear Chris and family,
We were sorry to learn of the death of your father. I had the opportunity of meeting him in Rhode Island the year he was President of NSM. He looked much younger than his years and I remember him commenting on the accent of the northerners. He seemed totally committed to the betterment of funeral service. His obituary, for someone who did not know your dad well, was a wonderful caption of his life. His certainly had a life his family must be proud of.
Sincerely,
Gary Smith

Robinson's was the first department store in which I shopped by myself and Mr. Robinson treated me like the most valued customer even though I was only 14 years old. It was the beginning of a long relationship, although some was as he greeted me with his dignified warmth in the funeral home when my parents died. Easley will not be the same without Alf Robinson. There will be many of of us who will miss him very much.

My condolences to all his wonderful family.
