My beloved husband, Pastor Bob, went to be with the Lord on June 29, 2012.

He will be missed so much by wife, Joann Robinson; his children; and all the friends and parishes he served until the end.

Bob was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, on April 6, 1932, and was one of seven children of Clarence Stephen and Dorothy Robinson. Bob is preceded in death by his parents and his brothers Jack and Jerry.

Pastor Bob retired June 18, 1998, and has been Pastor of Forest Run and Asbury churches for over 13 years. He has loved being a pastor since he was 25 years old, over 50 years.

He and his churches gave money to build a parsonage and church in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa.

He and Joann celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary on June 21, 2012.
