Frank A. Robinson, loved gardening
Frank A. Robinson, known by most of his friends as “Jack,” 88, passed away in the care of Atlantic Shores Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Millsboro Monday, Dec. 16, 2019.
He was born June 5, 1931, to the late George E. and Ethel Timmons Robinson in Milford. He married his wife Mildred in 1949. Over the years he worked at Mitchell’s Hatchery as a feed mill operator, and then worked and retired as a records custodian for M&T Bank. He loved walking, gardening, tending flowers and vegetables and selling mums. With his wife they “put up pepper relish” and pickled beets. Jack was a quiet, yet strong man who was devoted to his family. If his son or grandkids needed anything, he would get it.

Interment will follow at St. George’s United Methodist Church Cemetery in Clarksville.
