Please accept our deepest condolences to the entire Robinson family especially his son Greg. I was fortunate to have known Dr. Robinson when he took a chance on hiring me into Crysteco many years ago as an engineer right out of college and had the opportunity to work also with Greg while there. Dr. Robinson was truly a great man and I will ever be indebted to him for allowing me to share so many years with such a great company and all of the personnel that worked there. May 7th 1999 was one of the toughest days in my life...the last day of operation at Crysteco. I cannot think of any better place to have started my career. It was also the place where I met my wife. Rest in peace Dr. Robinson....you did well. God bless, Patrick & Susan Burley & family.

I have always felt most privileged to know Bill Robinson; he was one of the greatest and most intelligent men I have ever known. Having worked at Crysteco for nineteen years, I came to know Bill as a mentor, an educator, and a friend. While at Crysteco, Bill made a point of knowing the name of every person that was employed there and he spoke to everyone, making many feel as though they were family. Over the years, I have thought of Bill often and the lessons I've learned from him. I enjoyed talking to Bill about his time teaching at Carnegie Tech and how he developed his love of classical music while in Germany. I've cut a lot of wood with him, he was a tree feller extraordinaire, and he once asked me to accompany him to an opera, my first. I hope the Robinson family can take comfort in knowing the impact Bill had on so many people.

I knew Bill as a member of The Grand Hotel Hunt Club. Bill was a very special man and had a very positive influence in my life. He was a good man, always a positive word of encouragement and a smile on his face. I hadn't seen Bill at the camp in Colorado since he left the club on 2010 and was saddened by the news of his passing. Heaven is better for having him, and we will all miss his energy. May he rest in peace.

God bless, David Hitton

I remember the day that Marion hired me to work at Crysteco and become part of the Crysteco family. We were treated like family, which you don't find in the work force today. Rest in peace Mr. Bill and strength and comfort to the family.

Think about this man often. Loved him more than you know. I worked for him at crysteco for 14 years and hated when it closed. Heaven has gained an AMAZING new soldier. Miss you Mr Bill

Dear Robinson Family,
We are truly sorry about the sudden passing of Denise's father, Bill. Though we only met him once at the wedding, we knew that he was a remarkable man to have raised such a loving and brilliant daughter as Denise. My brothers always spoke fondly of Bill and their hunting adventures. May your happy memories carry you through your grief.
Love, Pete & Carol McCallum (Gravatt sister-in-law & husband)

Dear Aunt Marion and family!
We were deeply saddened to learn of Bill's passing. He was such a great guy! Always up for whatever was going on! A dedicated and supportive husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. Derry and I truly enjoyed spending time with him. We will miss him greatly!
