To the Robinson family and friends of Rod, my heartfelt condolences. We didn’t have to talk much. Always part of the tour- camera in hand.

Let's not forget Rod's shark dive in 2001. I think he came back both thrilled and terrified at the same time.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Thank you for your kind words and loving support! He always spoke very highly of you and appreciated your ministry. You fed him the Word of God and provided the spiritual nourishment needed to grow in Christ. GOD BLESS YOU! To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord....PRAISE JESUS forever more.

It seems like only yesterday! Thank you for the fond memory and warm condolences.

Thank you for your support and please keep us in your prayers!

Thank you for your condolences and fond memory. He loved South Africa and the people of South Africa he met along the way!

Thank you so very much for your love and support!

Maria, I am so sorry for your loss!! I would love to talk with you. My # is 609-230-7093. Trish Marrone

To the Brown University Crew, You were more than just friends ......you were family. Thank you for the fond memories, laughter, photos, and for enriching Rod's life. A special shout out to Claire.....get well soon. Know that you are in our prayers. Thank you for taking the time to travel long distance to bid Rod farewell!!! Continue on your journey and when you think of Rod.....smile!

Thank you for your love and support, prayers and gift. We appreciate you so very much. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We love you!

Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching. When everyone is watching without expecting a reward. Even when it's the hardest thing to do...Because it's the right things to do. Integrity is staying true to your values. A consistency of actions, and character....Is a state of wholeness....Is remaining true to yourself....Integrity is..... ROD ROBINSON FATHER, GRANDPA, SON, BROTHER, UNCLE, NEPHEW, COUSIN,AND FRIEND. He ran a good race, kept the faith, stayed on course and made it to the finished line!

Thank you for your love and warm hospitality. You were so kind and helpful to Rod. He truly enjoyed your company which added to the richness of his trips to South Africa. Thanks for sharing a few fond and humorous memories! And I second what Erin said about the shark dive.....what an adventure!

My deepest sympathy to the Robinson Family. I have a special space for you, Rod in my treasure chest -close to my heart because of the love I saw in you for my Cape Town and Africa. You have embraced this space with such respect and humility for the people and it's nature. My sadness and disbelief is almost instantly followed with a smile as I remember your quiet demeanour soaked with a striking sense of humour that makes one instantly hug yourself and everything around you- remember the "three legged Zebra"?, the Dijon Mustard mistaken for peanut butter? Addo Park with not an elephant in sight?......I have been truly blessed.

Rod loved you both very much!

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Rod truly enjoyed spending time with his "buddies" thank you for the joy that enriched his life. ----- Maria Robinson

Thank you for your kind words, fond memories and encouragement. Please continue to pray for us.

When he was a "bored" Attorney for the US Small Busness Admin (late 70's), I talked him into going back to school to get his Master's in Taxation which changed his attiude and his lifestyle. Leveraging became his specialty and Tennis was his passion. He will be missed. My sincere condolences...............An old dear friend"

My deepest sympathy to the whole Robinson Family. I had the honor and privilege of serving on the George School Board with Rod. I was always appreciative of his gentle warmth, deep caring, and thoughtful comments. He brought the world to us with his beautiful photos of South Africa, part of his dedication as he accompanied a service trip to South Africa. May you find comfort in the warmth of memories and the love and support of family and friends. Holding you in the light, Deborah Spitalnik

On either the first or second trip to South Africa, Rod decided he wanted to get a zebra skin. By working with our South African friend, Charlene, Rod learned that zebra skins are graded for their quality, so he requested the top grade zebra skin. This was a big decision, and a bit of a big investment as well. Using her connections Charlene was able to obtain a beautiful Grade 1A zebra skin that was delivered rolled in a bundle with brown paper. Rod was breathless with anticipation. Charlene and I had hatched a plan that when Rod unrolled the skin we'd declare that it was missing a leg--which we did with gusto. Rod's eyebrows went right up over the top of his forehead and he started shouting at us--"What do you mean it's missing a leg?" and "That can't possibly be right..." and "What the heck is wrong with you people...". I never laughed so hard in my life. I don't think he ever forgave me the prank.

We truly miss our brother in Christ and friend. What a blessing Rod was to us in so many ways. Always willing to attend and photograph our events, and add a humorous touch to all that he did. Our condolences to his wonderful family whom he loved so much. May each new day bring memories that warm your heart and comfort you during this time. Love, Pastor Joe and Natalie, and the family of Faith Fellowship Ministries of Southern New Jersey

Poem in honor of Rod......."WHEN I AM GONE" When I am gone, release me; let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you love, you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love each have shown but now it's time I travelled alone. So grieve a while for me if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. It is only for a while that we must part so bless those memories within your heart. I will not be far away, for life goes on. Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near. And if you listen with your heart, you will hear. All of my love around you, soft and clear. Then when you must come this way alone, I will greet you with a smile and say..... "WELCOME HOME!"

We have wonderful memories of Rodney and your family -- Katie's trip with you all to Disney, watching Haley's comet on Brantley Way, and bbq in the back yard, just to name a few. Rodney will definitely be missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Aaron, Tess, Katie, and Brian Bocage.

To Maria, my sister, and my nephews, and all of the family! I, Walter and Shirley Lancaster, send our deepest condolences to you at this time. We appreciate all of the good times that we've shared in person and over the phone. Rodney was a resourceful man who loved the Lord and it was expressed in numerous ways. Our last conversation was about this concerns for Maria during her illness. We're thankful that during his brief time in the hospital, my sister was able to spend quality time with him and bring closure to their relationship shown simply in laughter, scripture sharing, eating snacks, and acts of Godly service. We pray that the legacy that he left will impact each family member who loved him to move forward in faith and purpose. Our prayers are with each and every one of you. May the light of the Lord continue to illuminate your way, as you move into a brighter future.
