    Notes:

    From FB page Cobden of the Past, Nov 11, 2020
    Lac. Harold Stewart Robinson, son of Thomas Alexander Robinson and Mary Elizabeth Coffey, was born on 29 Oct 1920 in Cobden, died on 7 Nov 2013 in Cobden, aged 93, and was buried in Cobden Union Cemetery. Harold married Margaret Mary O'Nanskie on 20 Apr 1949 in St. Francis Xavier Church, Renfrew, Margaret was born on 15 Aug 1928, died in Jul 2008 in Cobden, aged 79, and was buried in Cobden Union Cemetery.
    After attending Cobden High School, Harold enlisted in the RCAF in 1939 and received radar training in Toronto, Hamilton and Montreal. Radar played a significant role in detecting the enemy bombers in time. Harold served until 1945.
    On his return home, Harold worked at several jobs until he joined Ontario Hydro and worked there for 33 years. He enjoyed and participated in sports throughout his lifetime and continued some sports into his adult years including curling, and playing & coaching softball.
    In an article from The Cobden Sun, on his 85th birthday, Harold recounts his war years and some of his activities during his lifetime. However, he barely scratches the surface of his many contributions to our community. He served on council for several years and then as Reeve from 1973-1982. He also served as trustee on the School Board. He was a great supporter and worker for any initiative that furthered the life of the community. The attached photos and articles highlight Harold?s involvement.
    Harold was a founding member of Cobden Branch 550, Royal Canadian Legion and a lifetime member. He served as President and in other capacities and was very active in Legion activities including serving on the building committee for the new Legion building.
    Being a kid growing up in the curling rink & at the ball diamond had many advantages. I got to know many people in our community that I may never have had the opportunity to know otherwise. Harold loved people and kids. He always had a big smile and a hardy conversation no matter your age. He was also a bit of a tease. My friend Jean & I would pass by his home on Gould St. many times a week. He would hasten out the front door with his hand held out to request a nickel (which gradually grew to a quarter) from us for using the sidewalk in front of his house. He would then have a great laugh at our come-backs. As we walked away, he would remind us of the children?s rhyme ? Step on a crack and you?ll break your mother?s back. So, we would entertain by tip toeing along the cracked sidewalk. I enjoyed visiting Harold in later years at Caressant Care. He would talk about ball, curling, history that we had in common, with a tear in his eye. He was also a good friend to my mom in her later years. He is greatly missed by me and so many others.
