The Reverend Dr. Harry Sholto Douglas Robinson, beloved husband of the late Frances Isobel Robinson, died peacefully April 4, 2011 at his home on Mayne Island, BC. Born March 30, 1927 in York Mills (Hogs Hollow), Ontario. He graduated from Wycliffe College in 1955 and was ordained in the Anglican Church of Canada. He served briefly at St. John's York Mills, then several years at the Church of the Redeemer in Kingston, Ontario. In 1964 he began working at Little Trinity Anglican Church in Toronto Ontario. In 1978 he moved to St. John's Shaughnessy Anglican Church in Vancouver, British Columbia where he worked until he retired in 1992. He is lovingly cherished and missed by his children Peggy (Guy), Pam (Michael), Gill (Michael), and David (Kathy); by his grandchildren Kimberley (Jeremy), Chelsea, Lyam, Samuel, Paul, Benjamin, Owen, Emily, Hannah, and Harrison; and by his great grandchildren Lucy, and Naomi. Harry will be remembered by family, friends and parishioners from coast to coast. We are grateful to Bishop Tony Burton for his summary of the impact of Harry's life: 'The Reverend Dr. Harry S.D. Robinson, the foremost Canadian Anglican Evangelical parish priest of his generation.... A gentle giant physically and morally, he combined a probing intuitive intelligence with an enormous love of people and focus on the Gospel task. He was a brilliant, original, and unpredictable preacher and a perceptive critic of the interplay between the Gospel and contemporary culture. In the late 1970s, he was appointed Rector of St. John's, Vancouver, then a moribund, complacent small congregation, and at considerable personal cost set it on the path to becoming Canada's largest Anglican community, and one of its liveliest and most creative. As a churchman he built bridges and encouraged friendships across the country. In his heyday, he exercised an almost unrivaled degree of personal authority. A person of great warmth, charm and humility, he inspired and mentored countless vocations to the ordained ministry.' May he rest in Christ's peace and rise to his reward in Glory. (Daniel 12:13) Service to be held Tuesday, April 12, 2011 at 1:00 p.m., at his home church of St. John's Shaughnessy in Vancouver, British Columbia.
