CALAIS — Fay Jacobs Robinson was born on March 10, 1938, at Heaton Hospital in Montpelier, Vermont. He passed away on June 12, 2009, and will be buried in Robinson Cemetery in Calais, Vermont.
Fay married the love of his life Beverly Anna Hardaker on April 14, 1962, in Matamoros, Mexico. They had another ceremony with friends and family in St. Augustine's Church in Montpelier, Vermont on May 10, 1964. Fay and Beverly then moved to Calais in 1969 and purchased their home in 1970. They had two children Glee Margret Robinson born Aug. 27, 1963, and Gregory Joseph Robinson born June 18, 1966. Fay was predeceased by his wife Beverly Anna (Hardaker) Robinson. She was born on Dec. 15, 1937, and died in a tragic fire at their family home on Nov. 20, 1993, at the young age of 56 years 11 months and five days.
Fay attended school, both graded and high school at St. Michaels in Montpelier, and was a member of the Class of 1957. He then joined the U.S. Air Force in 1959, and served with them until 1963 as an A-1 Class E-5. During this tenure he had a 13 month tour of duty in Korea.
Fay enjoyed spending time with his family and took pleasure in activities such as hunting, fishing and keeping a large garden. He played darts, had a coin collection and overall was a jack of all trades, keeping himself busy by tinkering on things and projects around the house.
He was a longtime employee at Capital City Press, from which he retired after 19-plus years. He maintained memberships at St. Augustine's Church, the American Legion Post #3, V.F.W. Post #792 and B.P.O.E. Elks Lodge #924 all located in Montpelier.
Fay will be dearly missed by many.
Funeral service will be held 10 a.m. on Monday June 15, 2009, at the Old West Church in Calais. Burial will follow the service in the family lot at Robinson Cemetery. There are no calling hours.
