Monroe Dispatch - No Struggle, No Progress

Eugene Lollie or 6 9 Robinson as all of us basketball teammates called him, was a loyal friend for fifty years. When word quickly spread that Eugene Lollie Robinson had passed away on October 9, 2023, my heart dropped, and disbelief came all over us. You see, Lollie worked out at the local health club daily and his physique was similar to the last basketball college game he played at ULM in 1980. Lollie was All-State on our 1975 Bastrop State Championship team and All-Conference on our 1979 TAAC Championship team. Additionally, he was drafted in the fourth round of the NBA by the Milwaukee Bucks. Recently, our high school teammates would get together and have the best time cracking on each other and reminiscing about the good times we shared with one another. As tears began to run down my face, my teammate and roommate on road trips will always be remembered, but never forgotten! Funeral services will be announced from the funeral home.
