ROBINSON, John A (Tony)

26 March, 1942 – 06 October, 2025

It is with profound sadness to announce Tony’s death with his wife Felicity at his bedside under the full moon at SPH despite all attempts to keep that loving heart beating and the twinkle in his eyes alive – all was lost!

Born in Yorkshire, UK, a true English gentleman — witty, skilled, warm and loving husband father step, grand, great grandfather. 22 memorable years on SSI. Well travelled and had happy times created during his time with us. His presence will be sorely missed. RIP my love.

A celebration of life to be announced at a later date.

  1. Sorry to hear. Tony had a great personality and sense of humour. I had the pleasure working with Tony trucking and building the sea walk and he later built many residences on SSI and Secret Island. Although I hadn’t seen him for years, I always had good memories.

  2. We are so very sorry to hear this news – though it’s many years since we were neighbours – always thought highly of him. Gentle, kind and great sense of humour. Our sincere condolences Felicity.
