Donald T. Robinson
March 28, 1941 — January 8, 2015
Donald T. Robinson, age 73 of Richfield died on Thursday, January 8, 2015 at the Fairview University Medical Center in Minneapolis. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2015 at 1:00 PM at the Wanamingo Lutheran Church in Wanamingo with Pastor Christopher Culuris officiating. Visitation will be on Saturday for one hour prior to the service at the church.
Donald Thomas Robinson was born on March 28, 1941 in Elk River, MN to Theresa (Mulder) and Leonard Robinson. His childhood was spent in NE Minneapolis, before his family settled in Howard Lake on his dad's farm. It was there at age 11 that Don got his first motor scooter and his love for motorcycles began.
On November 18, 1978, after meeting 8 months and 2 days earlier on a blind date, Don and Ruth Ann Hegseth were married at Wanamingo Lutheran Church. They made their home in Richfield and Don worked for the Paper, Clamenson & Co. for many years.
Don and Ruth spent many vacations and weekends touring the country on his Harley. He was a hard core rider and throughout his life he belonged to a number of motorcycle clubs. He was most recently retired from the Sons of Silence, but continued to ride with them any chance he could. In his earlier years, Don also enjoyed fishing, camping and being outdoors, even doing yardwork.
His love for his wife, cat "Max", family and club brothers along with riding his Harley brought a true joy in his life.
Don is survived by his loving wife, Ruth Ann; children, Robin (Steve) Madsen of New Brighton, Steve (Vicki) Robinson of Milaca, Dan (Gwen) Flaherty of Coon Rapids, Tim (Julie) Flaherty of Zimmerman and Kevin Flaherty of Payton, CO; seven grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, John and Nancy Hegseth of Wanamingo; nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews and many cousins.
Memorials are preferred to the American Cancer Society.
