Harold Lee "Robby" Robinson

Early Christmas Eve morning, a Godly man met the Lord. His journey on earth took him to foreign lands serving his country and fellowmen. A loving son, husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, as well as a friend to all others, he always had a kind word or “Can I lend a hand.”

He lived by the scripture “In all ways follow Him (God) and He shall direct thy path.” Proverbs 3:6 - His path was painful towards the end but God knew that pain and gently took him Home on that early Christmas Eve morn.

Those that knew him will miss him immensely. He touched so many hearts. What a very Merry Christmas for Robby Robinson, as he sang with the angels in worship to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
