Mead C. Robinson, Sr., 64, of Franklin, passed away unexpectedly in his home on February 5, 2019. Born on September 1, 1954 in Franklin, he was the son of Mead Clair Robinson, Jr. and Ruth Ann (Robinson) Freeman. Mead married the love of his life, Debra A. Duck and began a wonderful family together; she preceded him in death on June 28, 2018, whom he missed dearly. For most of his life, Mead worked as an Electrician at the Pennzoil Refinery for 28 years, and retired as a Material Analyst for the United States Office of Personnel Management. In his spare time, Mead kept himself busy with activities he loved. He enjoyed being outdoors, especially to hunt, and made many trips to Canada to fish. Unlike the rest of his Steeler-loving family, Mead was a diehard fan of the Green Bay Packers, and loved to antagonize his loved ones about it. He also enjoyed watching the Pittsburgh Penguins play hockey. The time he spent with his wife, children, and grandchildren (who called him "Papaw"), will forever be his greatest love. Most of all, Mead cherished his family and his two dogs, Roscoe and Patches, whom he loved to take on rides. Mead is survived by his mother, Ruth (Robinson) Freeman and her husband, Paul, of Franklin; his 2 sons, Mead Charles Robinson, Jr. of Franklin and Scott Robinson of Clarion; his daughter, Heidi Siler of Franklin; his 3 grandchildren, Jordan and Brandon Siler, and Jemma Rose Miller; his sister, Sandy Dulaney and her husband, Kevin, of Franklin; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. In addition to his wife, Mead was preceded in death by his father, Mead Clair Robinson, Jr. in 1981; and his maternal and paternal grandparents. Family and friends will be received on Friday, February 8, 2019 at the Gardinier Funeral Home, Inc., 1315 Chestnut Street, Franklin, PA 16323, from 2 pm to 4 pm and 6 pm to 8 pm.
