In Memoriam

Posted on by

The Riverton Free Library Association notes with regret the passing of two wonderful gentlemen, William H. Robinson, father of our library director, Michael, and Charles J. Milligan.  Bill passed 15 January 2016 and Charlie on 27 February 2016.

Both men, World War II veterans, served the library association for years.  We were fortunate to have Bill as its Treasurer, with Charlie serving on the board for 39 years.  Michael Robinson noted that Charlie was also a lively participant with the library’s Great Books group.  We thank them for their service to us and to our communities.  They will be missed.

Both men asked to be remembered in their name with donations to the Riverton Free Library.  We offer our sincere condolences to their families.
