Melvin ROBINSON Obituary

29 October 1946 - 11 December 2023 Funeral will be held at the Collingwood Rugby Football Club on Monday, December 18, at 1.00pm. We will head down to the Collingwood Pub afterwards to share a Tui with Speedo. We all loved Speedo and we know how much everyone else did too. We would love for everyone to wear something orange. Drinks will be available to have a toast to Speedo. Let's celebrate his life and have a send off that he would have loved. Thanks for all the messages of love, the Robinson family is very grateful and feeling everyone's support.
