A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AT THE PASSING OF DONALD E. "BOOT" ROBINSON AND TO OFFER HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS THE DEEPEST OF CONDOLENCES.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the passing of Donald E. "Boot" Robinson on Friday, June 19, 2020, and wish to pause in their deliberations to honor his memory; and

Whereas, the husband of Jean L. Robinson, Mr. Robinson was surrounded by his family as he passed in his home. Born in Greenville, he was the son of the late James Henry and Willie B. Baskin Robinson. His biological parents were the late Cornell Robert Davis and the late Easter Mae Baskin; and

Whereas, Donald attended Greenwood County schools and was a graduate of Claflin University with a degree in science and math. He taught school in Columbia, Greenwood, and McCormick counties, served in the Korean War, and was the first African-American to serve on the Greenwood County Council for many years; and

Whereas, after retiring from the school district, he worked full time in the family business, Robinson & Son Mortuary, Inc., where he was the owner and manager; and

Whereas, he was preceded in death by one brother-in-law, Marcellus "June" Lee. He leaves to cherish his memory his wife of fifty-eight years, four daughters: Syliva "Michelle" Robinson of Charleston, Donna Jones of Washington, D.C., Sabrina Y. (Keith) Martin of Greenwood, and Shenika Hill of Charlotte; a "special son" Robert Dean of Greenwood; ten grandchildren: Courtney Herring, Myles Herring, Ebony Pollock, Savannah Pollock, Courtney Harris, Delvon "Tez" Martin, Kahmari Ragin, Makayla Reese, Makyla Reese, and Ry'Zoria Moore; seven great-grandchildren: Zomeria "Zoey" Herring, Myles McCoy, Kaden Martin, Aurianna Harris, Addison Martin, Omari Spearman, and Zina Hall; two sisters-in-law: Barbra (Sonny) Wilson and Hattie Allen, both of Virginia; and a devoted caregiver Domoneek Holmes, as well as a whole host of friends. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representations, by this resolution, express sorrow at the passing of Donald E. "Boot" Robinson and offer his family and friends the deepest of condolences.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Donald E. "Boot" Robinson.
