Bonham, Texas -- Robert Ferell Robinson, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on February 19, 2025, at the age of 88. Born on October 3, 1936, in Denton, Texas, Robert dedicated 42 years of his life as a conductor with the Burlington Northern Railroad, a testament to his strong work ethic and passion for the industry. He was a resident of Bonham, Texas, since 1997, where he embraced the community with open arms.

Robert was a faithful member of the Seventh and Main Baptist Church, where he built many lifelong friendships, grounded in faith and fellowship.
