Tom Robinson

1912-1935

A loving father and husband

A hard worker

Tom, of 23 years died September 17th. He was accused of a horrible crime, although many believed his innocence the truth did not win the trial. Tom, sitting in prison decided he wanted his freedom and tried to escape. Robinson had been shot seventeen times while climbing the prison fence. Tom was a proud man, a hard-working who provided for his family. Being a good neighbour he would often help people out with no charge and a big smile. Unfortunately this made him a target for others. Just because of the colour of Tom’s skin not many could see how much of a quality mean he was. Tom Robinson will be missed by many, friends, fellow farm workers, and of course his loving family.
