Ira Glen Robison Sr. 

Dec. 21, 1923 — Jan. 6, 2006

Services will be today for veteran Ira Glen Robison Sr., 82, who died Friday 
at his Nevada home.

Born in Alex, Okla., to Artie J. and Vernie I. Robison, he and his family 
moved to California during the early 1930s and eventually settled in Tracy. He 
helped build what is now known as the Tracy Defense Depot until he was drafted 
into the U.S. Army in 1942. He served honorably as a heavy mortar crewman in 
the 182nd Infantry Regiment in the Southern Philippines and Northern Solomon 
Islands. While serving, he met the brother of the woman he would marry. He and 
Lenora Frances Johnson exchanged letters, and after his discharge Dec. 2, 
1945, he traveled to Texas where they were married Jan. 16, 1946. He and his 
wife returned to the Tracy/Manteca area where they raised seven children. He 
retired from the Depot after 33 years of service. He and his family moved to 
Elko, Nev., in 1983. 

He spent his time there hunting, fishing and camping. He was an expert 
marksman. He was very content with Elko, and also worked as a security guard 
for the Spring Creek Association in Spring Creek, Nev. He loved his 
grandchildren and will be remembered as a family man who was always there for 
his children. His family could always depend on his advice. He will be sadly 
missed by all who loved him.

Mr. Robison is survived by his wife of 60 years, Lenora Robison of Spring 
Creek, Nev.; daughters, Frances Slaughter and Judy Robison , both of Elko, 
Jeannie Imperial of Reno, Nev., Patty Parragon of Atwater, and Mary Mulvaney 
of Spring Creek; a brother, Joe Robison of Overton, Nev.; 11 grandchildren; 15 
great-grandchildren; a great-great-grandchild; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents Artie J. and Vernie I. Robison; and 
sons Jimmy Wayne and Ira Glen Robison Jr.

Today’s service will begin at 1 p.m. at Hotchkiss Mortuary, 5 W. Highland Ave. 
Visitation will be observed from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. today. Interment with 
military honors will be in Tracy Cemetery.
