To the Robinson family; Nancy and I share your grief over your loss. Knowing Dick over the years was a pleasure and everyone in Ocala looked foward to his return(s) after moving back to West Virginia. Also, that if preferred golf starting times are available in heaven Dick is in the lead foursome having a wonderful time just like he did here on earth. God be with you Dick and be prepared for when "the boys" start to arrive for we'll certainly have one great tournament.

Sylvia & Family......I am sad that Dick has passed from this life, but I am so thankful that we know he is in a better place and not living with the problems that he has had over the past months. He was a true friend and one I shall never forget - he was special. Thanks for lots of good times - Buddy. Steve
