Frederick "Buddy" Johnson Robinson Buddy was born in 1921 in Detroit to the late Frank and Charlotte (Johnson) Robinson. The family moved to Northville, Michigan in 1934. Buddy was a graduate of the 1940 class at Northville High School. He served his country during World War II as a gunner on a B-25 Liberator with the 783rd Bomb Squadron. During a mission over Europe, his plane was shot down, and he became a P.O.W. He returned home unannounced. His homecoming was spoiled to the delight of his sister Clara who spotted him walking up Taft Road trying to surprise his family by letting them know he was home safe and well. In 1985 he married Patricia June Hanson, and they made their home in Walled Lake, Michigan. Pat and Buddy enjoyed spending many good times with family and friends. Buddy is survived by several nieces and nephews: Bruce (Gilbert) Varella-Irland, Marlene (Rich) Kayfez, Gerry (Ellen) Irland, the late Colleen Irland-Mitchell, Michelle (Ray) Wildey, Dean (Nancy) Robinson, Patsy (Rick) David, Cheryl, Roger and Troy Bidwell.
