- how long have you, or did you, work for the bank, and in what area(s)

I worked in IT in the Phillips Building 1983 - 1989 and have great memories of that era of the bank. There was the West End Center build out and opening, the First Atlanta Merger (anyone remember that?), and the way the bank was proud of what it did ... and NC was proud of the bank.

I later worked a few more years as a contractor at First Union, later the 'new' Wachovia, and finally for Wells Fargo managing IT decommissioning projects. Sad to see the Lazy W go!

I'm retired now and keeping busy with volunteer work at a nearby greenway (fix trails, pick up trash, etc.) and a few other programs.... My form of restitution for all the years working in IT.

Any children, nieces,nephews, or grandkids that work for Wachovia now?

A nephew worked for Wells Fargo in Austin Texas. He left Wells to work for Wachovia when it grew out there - and ended up back at Wells Fargo when the acquisition happened.

Trex was one of the smartest and nicest people I had the opportunity to work with in my career.   He was generous with his time and always helped you succeed.  I had a role at one point where we were looking ahead where software technology was going and had a standing one-on-one meeting with Gene every week.  I learned so much from him and was always astonished by his accumulated knowledge , his interest in the lastest trends, and the range of his curiosity.  As other comments mentioned, if things  weren't going well,  Gene  was the go to resource.   Everyone one who knew him respected him.  Thank you Gene

Gary Gueltig has left an In Memory comment for Roy Robinson.

I had the opportunity to work with Roy during the mid-80's and always had a lot of respect for him.   I was in the IT group and parts of my job involved coordinating IT Standard and audit responses with Roy's department.  I learned many career enhancing skills from Roy about audit, negotiations, doing things right, and selecting the RIGHT words to make a point and communicate without overplaying your hand.  He had a wonderful sense of humor and was alway patient with me as he passed on many useful skills which I (at the time) may not have thought I needed to learn.   That Wachovia era (especially with IT) saw a lot of change and I am glad to have been a part of it and to have had Roy's guidance along the way.  Reading Roy's obit. confirms a lot for me.  He LOVED to discuss and negotiate a point... but always in a positive spirit.  He had a great life and made a huge contribution to Wachovia during his career.
