I was lucky to share the same campus with Coach Robinson. I would see him time to time, and he was the nicest person He was a very humble and down to the earth. I always will remember the smile he had for everyone. God bless you Robinson family.

Another icon, pioneer and role model passes...as a youngster here "up south" in New York City, I shared the pride of all African-Americans when on Super Bowl Sunday 1966 the Grambling College marching band lit up the Coliseum with their rendition of "SoulFinger"...we as a people were proud, for we had all arrived, it was because of this pioneer that we began to revive our appreciation of the Whitney M. Young Football Classic aka Grambling vs. Morgan State at Yankee Stadium, the Penn Relays and many, many other African-American community oriented sporting events...God Bless and keep dear Coach Robinson, his legacy of success is a beacon for us all.

To the family and friends, may God hold you close. He not only coached the team he coached by proxy so many of us who never got to know him, by the way he carried his self. Some of us only knew him by what we heard or what we read and it was always dignity that entered a room or story before he did. He will be missed and he will never be forgotten.
May God be with you always.

To the coaches family. This is a sad time for you and all that knew him,but remember he is going to a better place. His legacy for what he accomplished during the times, will be forever remembered.

To quote an old farewell from the U. S. NAVY; MAY YOU HAVE FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS.

So long coach you will always be in our hearts.
