Robin Friday

Robin FRIDAY

1938-2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dearly loved Robin.

Robin was husband to Mary Lou, father to Kathy and Jamie, stepfather to Dawn, Wendy and Eric, father-in-law to Tim, Tiffany and Tony and grandfather to Darcy, Claire, Dorian, Linden, Rachael, Michelle, Meg, Scott and Amy. Robin was also son of Janet and Ralph, brother of Helen, Jennifer, Peter, David and Sally and husband of Barbara.

Professionally, he loved his work as an engineer. He also represented the people of Box Hill on Council for nearly a decade as both a councillor and mayor. His personal interests included cycling, bushwalking, oil painting and weaving. Robin’s life has been characterised by commitment to causes that he passionately believes in – homelessness, domestic violence, the environment, climate change, and indigenous communities.
