David Zub says
Paul and Sandy: I was just thinking of Pinky the other day, telling a story really; three years ago I went to visit him in hospital, but was intercepted by a nurse. “Pinky said, ‘I don’t want any ….. ministers’ visiting him.” “Nah,” I said, “he just doesn’t want any old baptists praying over him. I’ll take off my collar…” I did, and he was really glad to see me. I’m sorry for your loss, folks. Do take care.
Tom Elmer says
Sandy, Paul, and the Robinson family.
I have only just heard of Pinky’s passing, and I am sorry to hear this news. Although my memories of Pinky are from “way back in High School days” and for a few years beyond that, I have fond memories of Pinky and his humour.
My thoughts and prayers are with you now as you remember and celebrate the life of a man who was special to each of you.
