We never had the opportunity to meet Craig. A wonderfully animated telephone conversation is our only direct link. Old houses and motorcycles dominated the discussion. Our wall calendar remains marked for an intended meeting in Queensport and Larry's River. We are sad that this will never happen. However, that discussion also focused on Craig's son Chris and a need for assistance with a vehicle repair of significant substance. We were pleased to assist and then had the opportunity to meet Chris. Chris' ability to reconstruct that fine piece of BMW machinary would make any parent proud. We are confident that Craig was more than proud of that skill and ability. Additionally, we were able to meet you Linda and enjoy many discussions. As you both left for home we began looking forward to our summer meeting. Craig even thought of bringing his rebuilt 1974 75/6 BMW motorcycle up, with his (and our) good friend Paul Clifford, to Nova Scotia for a Cabot Trail tour with us. Sadly this will not happen but we all will ride in his memory.

Craig was obviously a man of many significant accomplishments, contributions and caring. Linda and Chris, please know that you are always welcome in our home. - Bob Weber and Mary Delorey-Weber

Dear Linda and Family, I send my deepest regrets to all of you. I knew Craig for approximately 3 years but in that time he passed on alot of knowledge to myself and my stewards. He will be sorely missed.

Dear Linda and Chris, My condolences to both of you, "Mom" sisters and extended family. The tragedy of Craigs passing has left so many of us in shock and emptyness that it is beyond words. It is a feeling that must be multiplied many times to all of you. The loving, proud feelings for his family and the successes you had accom-plished together were expressed to all at every meeting with him. I have known Craig for thirty years, and he was as close or closer then a brother to me. My travels with him and working with him over the years are memories I will cherish for ever. Like so many, a void has appeared in our lives that will never be filled but cannot equal yours. The many who were exposed to Craigs charity, sincerity, and knowledge were very fortunate indeed I am saddened beyond expression that I will not see ride or enjoy "The Pleasure of His Company" again. I know it will be hard for you and Chris in you sorrow, but together you will persevere.
God blessyou and stand by you all.

No obituary could bring to a close or include all the brilliant things that were Craig Robinson. Thank you for your passion as a teacher, friend, advocate and labor leader. If there was one succinct saying to how we feel, it is this; 'The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - and you brother Craig, have burned so very brightly.' Our condolences and prayers go out to his wife Linda, son Chris, mother Barbara and sisters. Craig's passions will live on through the many people he has touched.

Dear Linda and Chris, My heartfelt condolences on the most unexpected death of Craig. I know of his love and care for you both as he spoke often with me about you. He was a most hardworking and dedicated man and his concern for people always shown through.
Though we had not spoken as frequently as when we worked together, our last conversations were of you, his family, and the clients that he cared for so much. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Linda and Chris, on behalf of the membership of the Central Ma Area Local APWU please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. While Craig was a true hero to anyone who ever worked for a paycheck, I will remember him as a man who absolutely glowed when he spoke of his family.

Peace

It was several years ago that the Lord put an angel named Craig Robinson into my life and my wife Sandy's. I was an embattled federal employee at the time and was referred to Craig by the local union president, based on Craig's stellar reputation. With my filing of several EEO discrimination complaints and an MSPB complaint, Craig signed on as my attorney to help me, in his words, "fight the good fight." Craig gave me the gift of hope from which grew courage to continue. Over a 9 1/2 year period, this remarkable attorney and human being was by my side at time of battle, representing me brilliantly before Administrative Law Judges in numerous hearings. Craig was a blessing because he had sincere compassion for me; he cared; and he wanted victory to right the wrongs and make me whole again. It wasn't about finances as a driving force - not with Craig. As he pointed out, most of his clients came to him already unemployed. For Craig was the best of all worlds - an exceptionally gifted attorney with honesty and high ethical standards, who cared deeply at the same time for his clients. There will never be one better... Attorney Craig Robinson was the very best of the best. Behind the closed doors of hearing rooms, I sat awestruck through each of Craig's magnificent performances of his legal duties. With calm and controlled demeanor; clear focus; an uncanny ability to recall past layers of details; a mastery of federal sector EEOC/MSPB law; and a special rapport with judges who respected and admired him; Craig was the force to be reckoned with by the opposition. During his cross-examinations, Craig overwhelmingly dismantled the opposition hearing after hearing, exposing the truth. Craig had a gift - this force or power that transcended the hearing room and affected all present. It is my belief that the gift came from God and that Craig Robinson was born to do this work, as a warrior of the light, to help the mistreated and downtrodden. Craig first brought me to victory with my EEO cases - a 48-page decision by the Judge issued in our favor. Craig then brought me to victory in my MSPB case. Craig was a man of honor and integrity, and held me to those standards, especially when I testified. He treated everyone, including the opposition, with dignity and respect. Craig was much more than an attorney because he was also a healer of broken spirits and hearts. In his time, Craig was a phenomenon, and a man who helped the oppressed behind the scenes without fanfare. Craig fought for victory and sincerely shared in the emotional joys and triumphs of those he helped. Craig stood for truth and for justice. Craig used his gift to right wrongs and help the wronged. Craig righted the injustices against me and cleared my name. He worked for and achieved victory to make me whole again. This man restored my broken hopes and dreams and gave it all back to me with dignity. How could I ever repay such an incredible person for such a special gift? My wife Sandy and I are forever indebted to our champion, our hero, our angel. Craig blessed our lives, and to this day the blessings continue. Craig fought for us and helped us win the good fight. To Craig's Mother: Job well done in raising such a remarkable person as your son Craig. Craig chose to use his God-given talents to help his fellow human beings. How pleased God must be with your son, who showed so clearly through his efforts, how just one person can make a difference on this earth through profoundly and positively touching and healing so many lives. You have such cause to be proud of your beloved son. My wife Sandy and I extend our deepest and most sincere sympathy and condolences to Craig's family, friends, and co-workers. We will remember Craig and all of you in our thoughts and prayers. The world has lost a shining champion for those in need. It will always be our distinct honor and privilege to have known Craig. We will never forget him. May God Bless You, Craig, and comfort your family, friends, and co-workers. Steve Johnson
