I have known Mr. Robinson all my life (since’62) as a permanent fixture @ C-Meek, as my father & grandfather built every home I’ve ever lived in just a few pieces at a time. In ’65/66 he brought a 2ton truck load of building materials to us & my dog pinned him in the truck by standing up & looking him right in the eye as he sat there just staring back. Being 3-4 yrs old I got Snowball down & asked him if he was scared of my “little ole dog”, which tickled the adults. As years passed & he would take a minute to pick on me, he would ask about my “little ole dog” I am honored to have known “Mr. Robinson” with Great Respect & Admiration. My deepest sympathy to the family. Respectfully
