Theresa, Your father can never be replaced; he lived a good life; he did everything for you and your brothers to have the good things in life growing up. He loved you and cared more about you differently than your brothers and he especially loved your mother. They would have been celebrating their 59th wedding anniversary, June 19, 2013. During his health issues your family showed how much love there is in the Robinson family by being there for him and taking care of him. Enough cannot be said about your mother who devoted her days and nights taking care of him; the person that she had been married to for 59 years. The man she loved, and sometimes had disagreements with was also her best friend and the man she treasured, as all of you think back starting March 26, 2013, 2:00 PM when all the memories about Everett Robinson started to shine. . â??When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure for all to cherish foreverâ??

Mrs. Robinson, Rusty, Joe, Andy and Kathy. Everett will be missed. To this day I still laugh about the times I would go over for a visit and the first word out of his mouth would be " what are you up to freddie" and even in adult hood when I would see him it was the same thing " freddie". Everett never wavered and always treated me well. For this I will always be thankful to him and the whole Robinson family.
