Roger Clark Robinson, 78 of St. Petersburg passed away July 27, 2021. He was a faithful servant of God who loved his family and friends immensely.
Clark was born in Wichita, KA and was 1 year old when he moved to St. Petersburg “Gods Country” as he called it, with his father, Alfred John Robinson and Mother Vera Endsley. A graduate of St. Pete High, Florida State University, where he played football and track and field for the Seminoles and Stetson University College of Law. He was a Florida boy through and through.

He was the past president of the Sigma Nu Fraternity at FSU, the YMCA of St. Petersburg, University Club and Squires.
