Many people
are either retired as they approach 60 or thinking about it.
Robinson interviewed many of the big stars of rock & roll, including Elvis, Buddy Holly and the Beatles. His many awards include the Order of British Columbia and induction into the Canadian Radio Hall of Fame.
But he was
more than a jock. Al Murdoch,
who also started in radio as a teenager, says Robinson was one of thenicest
people he ever met. "I learned so much about him not only the business but just
about life. Being a nice human being," Murdoch said.
Robinson died April 1, 2023 after a brief illness. He was 86.
