David Robinette

[NW Mailing List]

David Robinette always had a pleasant disposition and tolerated those of us 
who are not that knowledgeable about the N&W.   He proudly put together some 
of the best models of N&W structures I have ever seen.   He and Nathan lived 
closest to the NS WV Secondary in Pomeroy, Ohio.  He was a tremendous help 
when I put together the K&M book.  He put me in touch with librarians and 
old timers who gave me great information.    I will miss him at all the 
local historical railroad events.  He lived for his volenteer work on the 
Hocking Valley Scenic Railway.  As we grow older it is imperative that we 
loose many of our friends, it is never easier.   He was not only 
knowledgeable about the local railways, he also knew Chevys inside and out. 
One of my first memories of him was walking into the garage of the Pomeroy 
Chevy dealership.

Sorry to read of David Robinette's passing. David, who lived in Richlands, 
Virginia at one time, was very helpful to me when I wrote the article about 
Richlands for The Arrow. He patiently answered all of my questions, and I 
still have his hand drawn map showing all of the N&W structures in downtown 
Richlands as they were in the 1950s.

My condolences to Nathan and the Robinette family.

David Robinette and his son Nathan have been longtime members of the N&W 
Historical Society and regular attendees at our conventions. We have missed 
them both at the past two conventions as David's health has declined.

Nathan informed us this evening that David passed away this afternoon at the 
hospital. Please join us as we send our prayers and condolences to Nathan 
and the rest of the Robinette family.

We will pass on arrangements when they are known to us.

Ron Davis
