Leroy, we will miss you. I count it a privilege to have been a part of your family. You always made us laugh, and welcome. We shared special memories when your father was still in our mist. We always looked forward to the holidays. You, Sandra, and Melonie bought so much joy in our lives. Otis Leroy Robinson named after his father who is waiting in heaven to welcome you to a new home in Glory. To your family we grieve with you in your loss. God has given him his wings to fly away. We love you, and support you as you prepare to lay him to rest. Stay strong for this is not a goodbye, but see you later. With lots of prayers, love, and spiritual blessings.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Otis. I worked around him at ABB. He was truly a gentleman in every respect and many people at the plant requested his personal services because of his electrical skills. He will be missed.

Sending Love and Prayers to our neighbors. I’ll miss sharing waves and small chats with Mr. Robinson as we were out collectively mowing our lawns.
I will miss Otis and our conversations as he was my neighbor for 10 years. We would share duties of feeding the many stray cats and various wild animals. Many people are also sad of his passing at his favorite watering holes.
R.I.P. my friend you will be missed I will never forget many conversations we had and laughs at high street pub
