Randy Robinson, 53, succumbed to brain cancer Tuesday, July 17, 2018, after a 17-year battle.
He was born on Oct. 7, 1964, the son of Nancy Robinson and the late Jeffrey Robinson Sr. Randy graduated from Bucksport High School and the New England School of Broadcasting. He worked in radio advertising for 34 years and traveled millions of miles visiting clients.
He enjoyed golfing, long rides on the snowmobile, good times at camp, grilling for the Fourth of July, hiking Shenandoah, Zion, Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon national parks and helping out on the farm. Most of all, though, he enjoyed working with his kids on basketball, soccer, softball and golf. He took pride in serving on the Bucksport School Board, and he worked countless hours on his yard and keeping his lawn weed-free.
In addition to his mother, he is survived by his wife of 22 years, Cheryl Robinson; son Paul Robinson; daughter Sarah Robinson Lanpher and husband, Ryan Lanpher; uncle and aunt Ron and Jo-Ann Turner, aunt Roxanne Clapper, aunt and uncle Marlene and Jack Lozier; special sister-in-law and brother-in-law Kathy and Shawn Heath; special niece and nephews Emily Heath; Tyler Heath and Dylan Tights; parents-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Philip Wight; many more loving and caring family members and friends.
