Richard W Robinson

Richard Wynn Robinson, 70, of Hawthorne passed away July 15th, 2022, following an extended illness. Richard was born to Lt Col John William Robinson and Willouise Wilson Robinson at Eglin AFB and was the youngest of four siblings.  

He met his wife, Paula Davidson Kelly, in Gainesville, FL and the two were wed in August of 1989.

Gifted as a mechanic, Richard spent the bulk of his working career being just that. He spent the majority of this time at Florida Septic, Inc. of Hawthorne, working with dedication from 1983 to 2011. When he wasn’t making motors run, Richard put to use his love for animals, tending to his herd of cattle, and adding goat shepherd to his list of titles in the most recent decade.

A perfect example of calm waters running deep, Richard listened much more than he spoke. When he did speak it was incredibly thoughtful and if there was ever perfect logic, he spoke it. He thought more of others than himself and was always eager to help and rarely willing to ask.  We will all miss him and his wisdom until we are together again.

Richard was preceded in death by his parents, and wife Paula. He is survived by his daughter Marguerite Wood (Harrison), his sister Teresa, and brothers John Wilson Robinson (Sandi), and William Robinson (Mary Ann Counts). Richard is also survived by numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
