My prayers are with Toms family, when he worked for me at the apartments he was a very kind man, he will be missed.

Eddie Thompson sends his regrets and condolences at the passing of your father. Wishes for each of the Robison siblings to know that he is thinking of each of you.

We always enjoyed running into Tommy downtown and visiting with him. Our deepest sympathy to the family.
Noelle Pinkerton says
Your dad was so good at seeing the beauty in old pieces of furniture and many other things! I remember him asking for pieces of things that he wanted to refinish! Thinking of all of you with the loss of your father.
Tammy Bauer says
Robison kids, I will never forget all the great times we had together. Our families really grew up together and our dad’s were best friends before either of them got married. I can’t get to the funeral but you are in my prayers.
J Johnson says
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Thomas Robison – May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18) Our loving Creator did not intend for us to suffer and has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25; 8) There will come a time that no one earth-wide will suffer (Psalms 37:29). Please be comforted and encourage by the Bible’s hopeful message (John17:3).
