I miss you so much Michael, every day but especially today. I have a yahrzeit candle burning. A photo of you has recently resurfaced from the most unlikely source. My college roommate freshman year, Deb, (52 years ago) wrote me a card. She lives in D.C. and I cannot remember the last time we spoke. After our marathon 2 hour phone call she emailed me this photo of you and her in the days of our youth. There you are, around 27ish with Deb. You are looking so fine and handsome. Deb was visiting a friend in Arlington and we got together. I have no memory of this event. It looks like my apartment. I see a guitar. Yours. Maybe we were living together in Cambridge then. I am thrilled to have this picture of you. I have a gig to give a talk on synagogue architecture and I will talk about your drawings. It is never too late. 
               Love you always,
                      carol  xoxo

oh michael,
you are not missing anything here now.
the whole country/world is on Lockdown,
'sheltering in place' due to the latest 'plague'
on passover we commemorated the ten plagues
this year we had eleven
somebody brought up 'trust'
you were the only person i ever trusted.
today is mother's day and barry's birthday follows shortly. 
a piece of me went with you....
miss you + love you always,
 xoxo 


Michael, it's New Year's eve as we ring out 2019. I miss you and always think about you especially during the 'holiday season.' I miss our phone calls and hearing your voice.  Almost five years.  Part of my heart is missing. It went with you. Love you always,
                                carol xoxo
         

Happy Birthday Michael. Thinking about you on your birthday and always. Tomorrow I am going to see the headstone for my mother that you urged Barry and I to do.  Four years.  I miss you so much. Love you always....

Missing you on my birthday Michael. You always sent me flowers. Big surprise: Barry emailed me a Happy Birthday email. I thought you must be smiling. Well we're in the holiday season. Rosh Hashana is coming up soon. I will be giving some talks on synagogue architecture and will show some of your drawings. I love this beautiful plan of the pyramids on the Giza plateau which line up with the constellation Orion.  I miss you beyond words and will love you always. Love, carol xoxoxo

Michael, I went to TBZ and said Kaddish for your May 10th yahrtzeit. Four years…..I miss you so much and so does Barry. He told me. It's hard to survive Mother's Day, Barry's birthday and your yahrtzeit at the same time, right after Passover. Ron also remembers. I.M. Pei passed away at 102; barry emailed me about it today. Thinking of you always. Love you forever. Peace to the Robinett family. 

Happy Valentine's Day Michael......miss you and the flowers you sent me....Another New Year's without you, almost four years. Ancient Aliens is on. Miss talking to you about it. Earth is not the same without you. Klaatu Berada Nikto, love you, c

Happy Birthday Michael.....tomorrow is the full moon. Perhaps that's why I got an email from Barry this morning. All the forces converged. I wonder if your house survived Hurricane Michael. I hope it did and hope the Robinetts are all ok. It's fall, time to go look at the leaves.....thinking of you and miss you. It's a different world without you in it.  Love and miss you always......xoxo

Another year has passed Mike......it's Rosh Hashanah.  Barry and I are in touch. I am working on getting a headstone for our mother, something you encouraged us to do many times. This photo was taken at my 2012 Rosh Hashanah dinner, the year Shirley passed away. Barry bought both of us the Where the Wild Things Are T shirt by Maurice Sendak, a book I bought him when he was a little boy. I always think of you and miss you on these holidays.......and every day......love, carol xoxo


Thinking of you Michael. It's been three years today. Now it's mothers day, barry's birthday and may 10th coming all together. Remembering our 30 years together and miss you so much. love, carol xoxo

Missed you on Passover Michael. You were always interested in the Jewish holidays. It's a tradition to light the yahrtzeit (memorial) candle on the last day of Passover. I lit one for you and my mother and my uncle roby and aunt ruth.

I remember watching you building your cube house in 1998 Mike. I miss you so much. I feel the same way as Curt. I can't do this all by myself. I hope you and Robby and Mark are all playing guitar together somewhere. Curt, you are very welcome. I will get in touch shortly. love, carol xoxo

i met u once years ago over my cousins hospital bed & u were a good guy.
we shared a few hours & u were gracious, kind & made me glad to be w/ u

Miss you every day mike. I hope you mark & robby are together somewhere out there. Its still so hard to believe your not with us anymore. I need your help badly. Its hard to deal with all this by myself.  Carol, thanks for keeping this open. We appreciate it & all the kind messages. My phone number is 850-463-6476.

Two years today. I am thinking about you all day today Mike. I think about you all the time every day. I miss you and love you always. I lit the yahrtzeit candle. love, carol xoxo

Happy Valentine's Day Mike. Thinking of you, miss you so much. love, carol xoxo

Mike, I scoured the internet searching your name. Many people cited your website in reference to the golden section from your drawings of Villa Savoye. I even found a woodworking site that cited your writing about Le Corbusier.  What a shame it is not to see all your beautiful drawings which were all works of Art. I will do what I can to get your Temple of Solomon and Mishkan drawings into book form and online. I miss you. Love, Carol xoxo

Miss you so much Mike. I still expect you to walk around the corner. Love you brother. Happy New Year.

Missed talking to you on New Year's Mike. 19 months without you. Ron called New Year's day from Paradise, CA. The more time goes by, the more I realize how lucky I was to know you. I am sorry we did not have more time together. Love.

Happy Birthday Michael ! Thanks for being such a good friend to Barry and me. We miss you...no time to go and look at the leaves....

Mike, I think of you everyday and miss you terribly even though a whole year has passed. Love you.

Happy birthday uncle Mike! Miss and love you always

Thinking of you Michael, every day and especially today, your birthday. Life is not the same without you;everything is different without you in it. Missing you and love you always. Peace, health and harmony and healing energy to the Robinett family.

I was sad and stunned with the news that you had passed. I will always remember you, as many probably do, "uncle Mike", even though we were actually cousins. You were always just a really fun and cool person to be around. You couldn't be in a bad mood when you were around.. Or at least I couldn't.
The last time I saw you was in 2005 I think when Dave and I came through Pensacola, on our way to New Orleans. We walked through your house which had really come along way from the last I saw it, and you showed me some of your drawings. It was a great visit. .. Gone too soon!
I love you and will miss you always til we meet agian. 
My love and comfort goes out to Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Jim and to all of my cousins. I love you all!
Melissa

We met back in the 1970s in Boston, Massachusetts and later years in Berkeley, California...You were always taller than me...Communications via cell and internet were not unheard of with interest in architecture and design...All that know and all that do not know will miss this man...
Peace, Health, Harmony, Love...Ron...

Its been quite a few weeks since you left me mike. I still expect you to walk around the corner, or ask if you missed time. I miss you terribly mike. I've been taking care of snuggles. I cleaned your roof & the gutters for you buddy. I'll take care of mom & your house the best I can. I love you buddy. Please tell mark & robby hi for me. I miss you so much.

To all those who are mourning the sad death of Michael Robinett, I send my heartfelt sympathy and healing energy. I did not know him, but the love shown in this book of remembrance is a tribute to one who had to be so very special.

Miss you Michael. This house is not the same without you.

Miss you so much Michael. This house is not the same without you

Michael, you left this world no sound was heard I had not an idea, that life on Earth, would end for  you and you would not be here.
You were gone before I knew it no chance to say goodbye. I cannot grasp that you're not here or know the reason why.
Your tragic end, came swift and fast and I could not be here to hold your hand and comfort you it's much more than I can bear.
I wish I could rewind the clock and have know now what I know. I could have hugged you one more time before you had to go.
in my heart I hold you close and there you shall remain until my time has come on earth when we shall meet again. I love you so much Michael. The last two weeks I spent with you I will never forget. Just sitting on the porch in the dark talking for hours. I miss you so much and life wont be the same without you here. RIP my dear brother in law

Beloved and dear friend Michael:
I am in shock and stunned after discovering this news on sunday ! For over thirty years you were always there, "hi, i'm calling to check up on you; I was sick last week that's why I didn't call." A more caring friend you will never find. Mike came out to Berkeley in June 1998 when I had major surgery. He stayed for three weeks and then drove me back East in a U-Haul truck. I met Mike at The Architects Collaborative in Cambridge when we were both working there in the late '70's. He was going to the BAC. We lived in Cambridge and then went to U.C. Berkeley. Although I only saw him three times since 1998 we stayed in touch through these years. I spoke to him two days before he passed away which turned out to be the last time. Together we visited Robby and Carol when they were in Pasadena. Mark stayed with us in Cambridge when he attended Berklee School of Music. In addition to the prolific amount of work he produced, he found time to collaborate with me on my synagogue project. His measured drawings of the Tabernacle in the Desert and the Temple of Solomon in cubits and feet drew a crowd when I displayed them at the Environmental Design Research Association conference. We were working on the book. He changed my life. I never met anybody like him. He was the most supportive and encouraging friend I ever had. I feel like I lost my best friend. A bright light has gone out. Peace and healing energy to the Robinett family.

I'm so sorry to learn that Mike passed away - my heart  breaks for your family.  Although I haven't seen you all in several years, I have many fond memories of good times with the Robinetts, and i think of you often. I hope you find peace and strength during this difficult time.

Our last lunch together with Bobby, Chris, and my two teenagers on her birthday last month is my last and best memory of you sweet heart.  You, smiling over ice cream, and discussing how they manufactured it!  Sitting with you and Bobby until they came to wrap you up and gently wheel you out the door...and now we are sifting through your photos, the amazing work you did all over the world with your architectural work, and we see how you helped so many people!  It was a privilege to know you and we all are just heartbroken that you are not here with us.  I know you are laughing, exploring, and still learning somewhere out there.  Hug Robby and Mark for us love, we will miss you.

Beloved brother, Michael.  

I was there when mom brought you home from the hospital.  

We were there together when Rebel the dog passed away and you cried for days missing a good friend.  

You were on the SF Bay Bridge coming for dinner when the Loma Prieta earthquake took out the mid section of the bridge.  You called me on the other side of the bay from your cell phone to let me know you would be late and not to hold up dinner.

Your architectural accomplishments were recognized internationally.
You lived and loved life like it mattered in the balance.
You carefully studied and mastered the situations you faced.

Your gift of deep family love will always be treasured and you will always be remembered.

I have had the greatest privilege being your brother.
