Dr. Stanley R. Robinson, M.D., F.A.A.F.P. A fine, gentle, Gentle-Man has gone to be with his Lord on December 13, 2020, and reunion with family and friends in Heaven. Dr. Robinson is remembered as kind, caring, compassionate, brilliant, patient, and good by all who knew him. Born in Ionia, Michigan, in 1930, Stanley Robert Robinson grew up in Grand Ledge, Michigan, living in town until age 6-7. At that time, his family moved to the grandparent’s farm on Mt. Hope Hwy. in Grand Ledge, to care for his paternal grandfather on the death of his grandmother. Dr. Robinson attended Grand Ledge Schools (K-12), graduating in 1948 as Valedictorian of his class. He commuted from the family farm for four years to Michigan State University in pre-medicine, graduating in 1952 with majors in Zoology and Chemistry. Medical school followed at the University of Michigan, graduating in 1956. Following graduation, Dr. Robinson took a one year rotating internship at St. Lawrence Hospital in Lansing, Michigan. He then joined the established practice of Dr. Gordon Harrod and Dr. Fred Garlock in Grand Ledge in 1957. He practiced medicine (Family practice-general medicine) for 51 years. Dr. Robinson had three dedicated nurses who helped him serve the public over his working years: Mary Wilson, R.N., Kathy McNamara, R.N., and Chris Simon, R.N. He, also, served on the active and courtesy staffs of St. Lawrence Hospital and Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Michigan during this time. During his tenure, Dr. Robinson delivered 1,000 babies into this world, all recorded. He retired in 2007. Stan started attending Immanuel Lutheran Church in Grand Ledge in 1951. He completed his adult catechism in 1952/53. Here he met his future wife, Lucille Griese Robinson. After a five year courtship, they were married at Immanuel Lutheran in September of 1957, when Lucy finished her R.N. training at Sparrow School of Nursing, Sparrow Hospital, Lansing, Michigan. The couple had three children, now grown and married. In 1969, the family changed churches from Immanuel to Calvary Lutheran in Lansing, Michigan, where Lucy was church organist from 1971 until her death in 1998. In 2002, Stan married a second time, to Virginia (Reisen) Robinson. Upon retirement, they spent part of their year in Venice, Florida, and part of the year in Grand Ledge—moving permanently to Venice, Florida in 2018. Stan had many hobbies, including world and U.S. travel, fishing, hunting, sports, model railroading, gardening, collecting, and browsing antique stores.
