I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Robinson“s passing. He was a wonderful mentor to me and loved cooking for his students and colleagues. I learned so much from him and was transformed just from knowing him. Rest in peace, Doctor. You will be missed! Dr. Jonita Henry Powell

May God comfort and bring you peace as you celebrate the life and legacy of your beloved brother. I worked with Rufus at Howard University many years ago. He had a genuine sense of humor and impeccable fashion.
