Helluva fine man x will miss him. Will always remember his passion for life and humankind, and his deep love for his wife and children. A philosopher, mathematician, artist and wise-guy ; an extraordinary human. Go well my friend

Very fond memories of "Ducky" Robinson (not sure why we called him that!) at Nelson Intermediate and Nelson College. Funny guy to have around - full of grins and laughs and a loyal solid mate. Very sad for us all when he moved away from Nelson. Thoughts with his whanau.

Mr Robbie - what an absoloute hero of a man. It's been approx 18 years since I left South but he was certainly one of the most influential teachers of that time. Sending love to his family. A wonderful human gone too soon
