Grieving fathers quest By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Its a painful story for him to tell. Its a story of senseless loss and sadness, but its a story Oakville resident Bill Robinson needs people to hear, so other parents may be spared the horrific experience of burying their child. Robinson met with Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn and student representatives from numerous Oakville high schools Tuesday evening to best deter- mine how he could go about spreading the story of his son James throughout the community. Six months ago yesterday, my youngest son James died of an overdose of Oxycontin. He was 24 years old, said Robinson. I dont know if you can really describe the hor- ror and anguish of waking up in the morning and finding your son dead on the floor of his bedroom already cold, already stiff. Robinson described his son, who attended T.A. Blakelock High School, as an avid reader, who always had a book in his hand and was always using reading to increase his knowledge of the world. After hearing a debate about Islam on the news, Robinson said, James went out and read the entire Quran, so he could see what was actually written.
