John Whalen wrote a sympathy message

“I have very fond memories of uncle Dick dating back to about 1960 when our family lived near them in what I remember what was known as the Villages. Uncle Dick was truly THE larger than life character. When you got a hug from Uncle Dick you knew you had been hugged. I remember the stories, the jokes and the songs he would tell and sing. I just have a flood of fond memories that fill my heart about Uncle Dick. The highlight of our year was getting together with the Robinson family. PEACE!”
