I have received the following:

Bill and Margaret,

Would you please circulate this on the web for information of shipmates who served with Peter Robinson.

It is with much regret that I need to inform you that CPO Naval Shipwright, Peter Robinson passed away in Canberra on 12 March 2017.

Peter joined the Navy as a Shipwright apprentice in HMAS NIRIMBA in the January 1965 intake. Among his postings, he served in HMAS SYDNEY, HMAS STALWART and at HMAS STIRLING.

Peter's funeral is to be held on Friday 17 March at the White Lady/Tobin Bros chapel at 91 Crawford Street, Queanbeyan at 1330 hrs and afterwards at the Stirling Labour Club in Weston Creek.

Peter's family has requested that medals be worn.

Thank you very much

Richard Lee
LCDR, RAN,Rtd

Shocked to hear of fellow term mate "Pommie" Robinson's passing. Far too young to be taken.

Pretty certain he was at our 50th reunion at Tweed a couple of years ago.

Condolences to his family,

RIP

Another MOBI taken too young, and a Chippy to boot...! Rest on your oars, 'Pommie', your voyage is done...

Very sad news Pommie was a good bloke rest on your oars mate

Shared a cabin with Pommie and a couple of others (Samuel & Plumridge) after graduating from 1st term.
RIP Pom.

Cannot recall Peter during my time, but still sad news. My condolences to his family.

RIP "Pommie".

Just got the news about Peter, such a shock. He goes to most reunions especially MOBI reunions. He was at our last 50 yr anniversary in September 2015 at Tweed Heads and I was not aware that he was not well, does anyone know what took our "Pommie" friend away from us and across the bar.

Rest in peace me old mate.

I was in contact with him on Fb. He had a yacht that just on 12 months ago he dismantled and took it to the tip. I thought it strange at the time, but who am I to ask.
The best/saddest part is that he died the day before his birthday. it is always a sad day but better to celebrate his birthday on the day for the family than his passing

His FB page was up last time i had a look but his wife was still active. I will see if I can find it and pass on the details.
