I received the following email message from Dan Robinson, Robbie's son:

After a long, tough year battling numerous health issues, I'm sorry to report that my dad, Rob Robinson, passed away last night. He was resting peacefully at the end, and I'm confident that he's in a better place today than he was yesterday.

Robert Wayne Robinson was born on May 18, 1937, in McLemoresville, Tennessee. Dad graduated from high school in 1955, enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1956, served honorably until 1960, then signed on with the U.S. Department of State as a communications technician in 1962 or 1963. Many of you knew him far longer than I did, dating back to his days in the Navy and his early days in the foreign service. By all accounts, dad was a good colleague and a great friend to all those he knew and worked with. I want to thank you all for your friendship to him over these many years. He often spoke fondly about all of you and the positive influence that knowing each of you had on his life.

Dad was not a religious man, and, as such, there are no plans for a funeral or a memorial service of any kind. Dad's final wishes were to be cremated and for his remains to be entombed in the columbarium at Arlington National Cemetery. I'll be taking steps over the next few weeks/months to see that his wishes are realized, and will let you all know when it's done.

I will continue to maintain dad's email account (kj4kms@comcast.net) for the time being, but I plan to cancel it once he's placed at Arlington. In the meantime, please contact me here if you have any thoughts or questions regarding my dad.

I attached a couple of pics I took of my dad back in April, 2024, the last time we grilled out together. Dad always enjoyed chewing on a cigar, drinking a Yeungling beer, and grilling some steaks or ribs out in the backyard. This is how I'll remember him best. Hope you all do too.

Best regars

Dan Robinson

I received word from Charles Wisecarver that he received word from Harry's son, Dustin that his father had passed away on November 21, 2025 after a LONG hard fought battle against pleural mesothelioma.

His message to Charlie is here quoted:

Dear family and friends of Harry Lumley

On the afdternoon of 21 November my father lost his intense, hard fought battle against pleural mesothelioma, an aggressive form of lung cancer emanating from asbestos exposure over 57 years aago, Diagnosed first in March of 2025, the speed and ferociousness of the affliction accelerated in recent weeks, leaving us in a state of disbelief that he has gone so soon. Dad passed surrounded by Mom, his granddaughter Helena and myself.

As he departed, we celebrated his kindness, devotion, wisdom and his innate ability to deeply inspire those around him. Music, photos and stories from incredible experiences tegether were shared.

My Mom, the other half of a parental super-duo, remains deeply grateful for 58 wonderfull, loving and adventurous years together. For our family, he continues to be our role model and daily inspiration to become a better human.

Upon his wishes, Dad will be laid to rest amongst the beautiful red rocks of Sedona, Arizona in a simple, spiratual yet natural graveside burial - The logistics and permits pending.
