Sir Gerry Robinson

I enjoy the programme, Nationwide on R.T.E. 1 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Sincere sympathy to the Robinson Family. May all our loved ones R.I.P. Amen.
Last Wednesday's Nationwide programme was most enjoyable about the great paintings that Gerry did during his lifetime, along with all the great speeches that he said.

Sending my sympathies to all Gerry’s family, just watched Nationwide - what an amazing man with great words of wisdom.

My thoughts are with Heather and all the family at this very sad time.
Gerry would light up a room with his humour, generosity and kindness.
In business and in life he was my sponsor, mentor and above all a great friend .
He was like an old pair of your favourite slippers which you may not have worn for a while but when you put them on you felt as if you had worn them yesterday. We may not have spoken for a while but when we talked it was as if we had spoken yesterday and he would always say ‘great to talk fella’
Goodbye Gerry.

Sincere sympathies to all the Robinson family on the sad passing of Sir Gerry. May he rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences to Lady Heather and the Robinson family at this time of your great sadness. We are honoured that Oakfield Park has been part of the RHSI Partner Garden Scheme for so many years and our members from all over Ireland have visited these spectacular gardens on numerous occasions. We were so sorry to hear this news of such an inspiring and wonderful man, may he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

Gerry was a true gentleman and it was always a pleasure to work with him. Even though many years have passed since I last met him, I remember him well. My deepest condolences to Lady Heather and all his family.

Deepest sympathy to the Robinson family at this sad time from all at Portsalon Golf Club. Gerry will be missed. May he rest in peace.

So saddened to hear of the sad passing of this huge character who has left an imprint on all who met him. Gerry was a true gent who always had an infectious smile and a hug for us all. 😢 Sending hugs love and strength. XXX

Comhbhrón doimhain Chroí to Lady Heather, his sons and daughters and the entire Robinson family. Gerry's smile, spirit and generosity lit up the lives of all who met him and of millions of people here and abroad who knew him in other ways. Born near an old Workhouse, he responded to the Folk Memory of the Famine and opened his heart and his home to the child victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster year after year when they visited Donegal. Truly, in the words of the song, the heart of the Robinson home in Oakfield was of Errigal proportions. The Chernobyl children swam, feasted and wondered as they enjoyed "togha gach bia agus rogha gach dí" as Oakfield rocked to the delighted cries of children, both Russian and local, for Gerry's and Heather's hospitality was biblical - "well shaken and tamped down" - the host families and their children were also welcomed to Oakfield.
For years he made substantial financial contributions to our children's cancer hospice in Mogilev, refusing to allow us acknowledge or even erect a Donor Plague out there.
On behalf of the children and their families in a now, even more troubled Belarus, and of all the host families down the years, we remember him here.
Gerry Robinson won't need our prayers, but they'll be said for him anyway - í measc na Naomh agus ar Dheis Dé go raibh sé !

In Belarusian salute we wish Eternal Glory, Honour and Peace to his memory.

From all at Donegal Aid for Belarusian Children.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Sir Gerry. I loved his program on the NHS in 2007. I gate crashed a conference in 2009 in Clontarf to hear him speak. I spoke to him at the end of his keynote address and he laughed when I said I had gatecrashed. I was a nurse who wanted to be a better manager. We talked about the apprentice and I would have loved to have met him
Again. A very wise and sensible man and sick a loss to his family. Rest easy Gerry.

Gerry was such a kind and gentle man. I knew him best when I was just a young woman and he was always generous and engaged, a man who was genuinely interested in what people had to say and willing to discuss anything, full of life and humour. I'm so saddened to hear the news of his death. I'll be thinking of all the Robinson family at this time.

Very sad to read of Gerry's death. He was such a support to us in the North West Theatre Project working towards establishing what is now An Grianan Theatre. Having the Chair of the English Arts Council in our corner was a bonus but his enthusiasm, generosity and advice were invaluable. Sincere condolences to Heather and all his family.
