Professor Robinson's longtime dance partner, Germaine Ingram, offered the following:
"I take comfort in the fact that LaVaughn had a long and full life, doing what he loved until past age 75 (when he retired). He shared his artistic gifts with thousands through riveting performance and inspired teaching. I rejoice in the fact that a 'street dancer' leaves us with indelible images of eloquence."
