It is with profound sadness and the deepest remorse that we announce the passing of our dearest Don Robinson on the 22nd of June, 2019.

He was an avid canoer, swimmer, rugby player, figure skater, curler, sailor, skier and golfer. Formerly a member of both the Rosedale Golf Club and the Granite Club of Toronto where many of his accomplishments and accolades can still be found adorning the walls. For a time, Don also held the position of National Vice President for the Canadian Ski Patrol.

He will be dearly missed and remembered as a gentle and kindhearted soul by his many friends in the Brewing, Malting and Filtration industries. Don was a member of the Master Brewers Association of the America’s since January 1, 1954. Don was their longest serving member. His vast knowledge of these industries was highly sought after.

“If you love something, love it completely, cherish it, say it, but most importantly, show it. Life is finite and fragile, and just because something is there one day, it might not be the next. Never take that for granted.

Say what you need to say, then say a little more.
Say too much. Show too much. Love too much.

Everything is temporary but love.
Love outlives us all.”
