Posted

Bob Robinson, 82, passed away peacefully at home on Feb. 2, 2019.

He is survived by his wife Marianne, sister Stephanie Robinson of the Dominican Sisters of Blauvelt, and daughter Mee-Lise.

He was a gentle and compassionate man who was devoted to his family and sensitive to the plight of those living in poverty. He graduated from Parsons School of Design and continued his education at The New School, the Art Students League of New York, Pratt Institute, and the Sorbonne.

He had a more than 30-year career in advertising as an art director. For the past 12 years, he was a member of the Riverdale Art Association — painting and etching were his passion.

He loved listening to music, visiting the ocean at Montauk, and watching PBS with his family.

His wake was held Wednesday, Feb. 6, at Riverdale-on-Hudson Funeral Home, followed by a private committal.

His favorite charity was Water.org, which works to provide safe water and sanitation to 16 million people.
