Robin Crusenberry Obituary

Robin Herschel Crusenberry JAMES ISLAND - Robin Herschel Crusenberry, 41, of Charleston, died Friday, March 4, 2011. He was born in Charleston, the son of Carol Crusenberry and the late Harold Crusenberry. A graduate of Ft. Johnson High School, Robin's career was maintenance and heating and air, but due to the economic downturn, he found shell fishing, which he said was his calling. While on the water, he said he found the solitude and happiness that he had been looking for. And it was while he was doing his beloved job that he lost his life. His niece, Melissa Crusenberry Walker, will be naming her soon-to-be born son, Landon Robin Lee in honor of Robin. He is survived by his mother, a brother, David Crusenberry and his wife, Sharon, as well as several nephews and his niece. Robin is predeceased by his father and brother, Jeff. The relatives and friends of Robin H. Crusenberry are invited to attend his Funeral Service at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, March 8, 2011, at the James A. McAlister Funeral Home Chapel, 1620 Savannah Highway. The burial will be held privately. The family will receive friends at the funeral home this Monday evening between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers please consider memorial contributions to Pet Helpers, 1447 Folly Rd.

I remember the first time, many years ago, when I met Robin. I swear he looked like he weighed 75 lbs, but in that small frame was a great friend who had the gift of being brutally honest, just when you needed someone to be. That honesty and friendship will be forever missed. My prayers go out to his family and friends everywhere. All my words fall short when I try to say how much you will be missed. Rest In Peace and may we meet again.
