Richard K. “Rich” Robinson, 89, of Willard passed away Tuesday morning, March 17, 2020 in his home surrounded by his family. Rich was born April 1, 1930 in Willard and was the son of the late Harry and Bessie Beck Robinson. He lived his entire life in Willard and was a 1949 graduate of Willard High School.
