Chester Wayne “Chet” Robinson passed away Aug. 26, 2016, at Central Maine Medical Center, after a long illness. He was born Dec. 27, 1947, in Halls Quarry to Ira and Helen (Conary) Robinson.

He worked at the Camden Tannery for 35 years until his retirement due to ill health. As a young man he worked at the Thorndike Hotel in Rockland. While there he would listen to Dick Curless and his brother, Hap Robinson, perform. This started his love of music that he shared with his nephew, Tim.

Chet was an avid Red Sox and Patriots fan and was often heard saying, "How 'bout those Red Sox?" He shared this passion with his son, Keith, as well as his grandsons. He also had a love of fishing and had both salt and fresh water fish tanks on display in his home.

In 1983 he married the love of his life, Barbara. They shared 33 wonderful years together.

He was preceded in death by both parents; his brother, Harvey “Hap” Robinson; his niece, Sheila Whittier; his sister-in-law, Roberta Fuller; as well as his brothers-in-law, Roy and Robert Richards.

He is survived by his wife, Barbara of St. George; his son, Keith Robinson and his wife, Sue, of Cushing; his daughters, Angela Robinson and her husband, Tim, of Friendship, and Crystal Rush of Waldoboro; and his son, Bill Bachelder of Friendship. He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Corey, Destiny, Ron, Savannah, Scotty and his wife, Lena, Charise, April and her husband, Kiel, Lacie, Jolea and her husband, Dana, Julia, Eric Jr. and Evan; and his great- grandchildren, Emma, Indy, Rosie, Kaycee, Shawn, Alexa, Kiel Jr. and Wyatt. Also his sisters, Georgia Ward and Donna Boynton; his brothers-in-law, Victor Richards and his wife, Mary, and Glenn Fuller; as well as his nephew, Josh Drinkwater, who Chet helped raise.

At Chet's request there will be no service.
