Obituary for Gerald A. "Jerry" Robinson
Gerald A. “Jerry” Robinson, age 81, a longtime resident of Chelmsford, unexpectedly passed away at his home on Wednesday, February 16, 2022. He was the beloved husband of the late Kathleen (Bradley) Robinson with whom he enjoyed 17 years of marriage.
He was born in Lowell on March 15, 1940 and was the son of the late Gerald F. and Helen (Hardenburgh) Robinson.
Jerry was a 1958 Chelmsford High School graduate and Capt. of the baseball team. He went on to further his education and receive his business degree from Merrimack College (1962). Mr. Robinson was proud to serve his country as a medic in the Army reserves for 6 years. Jerry went on to work at MIT in Contract Administration and later at Community Teamwork in Lowell as Manager of the Skill Center and Director of Energy Programs for 25 years before taking advantage of early retirement in 1995.
Jerry was an avid sports enthusiast playing men’s fastpitch softball, basketball, and downhill skiing until he was introduced to motorcycle trail riding by his late brother-in-law Bob Baker. He continued that passion for many years enjoying the New England scenery at a very fast pace as a member of the Nashoba Valley Riders Motorcycle Club. He loved getting away to his camp in Vermont. Here, he and Kathy “ventured” the dirt roads in his truck, rode four wheelers and cross-country skied. Locally he enjoyed hiking the trails at the Cranberry Bog and Great Brook State Farm.
