Fooks and her husband, Brian of Delmar; and two great grandchildren, Derek and Caden Fooks. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Ellen (Fenimore) Robinson; a son, Donnie Robinson; and two brothers, Edwin and Zane Robinson.
