Received word this morning that my brother, Orvil L. Robinson, of San Antonio, Texas died yesterday afternoon after fighting a long battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Jane (Hodges) Robinson, two children, Cheryl Moran of San Antonio and Jeff Robinson of California, and several grandchildren. He was retired from the U.S. Weather Bureau. He was a US Navy veteran. Served as a meteorologist aboard the aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge in the '50s. He was a good and decent, loving man who will be greatly missed by his family and all who knew him.
Sending prayers for all of your family.
So sorry to hear this news.
It sounds like Orvil was a jewel of a man. God bless you all.
Condolences Jim, prayers on the way.
I'm sorry to learn of your loss. I will say prayers for the soul of your brother; may G-d bless and keep him. My condolences to you, and to your brother's wife and children, and to the people whose lives he touched in his journey through earthly life.

Jim, I'm so sorry for your loss, but so glad your dear brother is no longer suffering. The happy part is the fact you will see him again. My great-uncle, right before his death, asked my uncle to cut down that big oak tree growing in his room. My uncle, thinking he was playing along, asked him why. My great-uncle said, "Because I can't get to [his wife who died before him] for that tree. I see her waving." He named some others who had gone before him that he could see waving, too. Then he got a big smile on his face, said something about it was about time they cut down that tree, and he breathed his last breath. I know he's with them, and happy. I say this because we all have to have Him cut down that "old oak tree" for us, and we'll see our loved ones again. Hugs...
May he rest in peace. Prayers going up.
May he rest in Peace, JR
Jim, I am so very sorry for your family's loss. I will keep you all in my prayers.
