Most Recent Reflection
View all 21 ReflectionsMr Robinson always stood out among the fathers at Englewood Manor Apartments off the Dan Ryan Expressway . He and his brother lived in the same building as did I with my family on the 6th floor. Always a word of encouragement with an assuring smile. I remember his sons and daughters , especially Debra . I remember the article in the newspaper mentioning her birthday and the surprise her dad had planned. A man taken much too soon and I count myself fortunate to have known him and his family.
