August 8, 1929 to O. Leo Robinson and Murtice Lees Robinson. He struggled
through life with many illnesses but through the power of the priesthood was
healed many times. Finally free from his pain, he returned to his Heavenly
Father August 25, 2005. He has been reunited with his parents and loved ones.
Preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Eugene, Glen, and Jay; two
sisters; and his sweet great-granddaughter, Kaitlyn. He will be most
remembered for his fun-loving playful personality, his classic jokes, his
flirtatious whistles, and his contagious smile. He married his eternal
companion, Shirley Bernard, December 7, 1953. He was often heard saying, "That
day was the beginning of World War III. We've had many major and minor battles
and she's won them all!" The two of them have an amazing relationship. They
could communicate without saying a word and always finished each other's
sentences. The second love of his life were his scouts. He spent 30 years in
the scouting program, 15 of those years as a beloved scoutmaster. He
personally guided and influenced more than 150 boys in receiving their Eagle
Scout Award. He was so very proud of this accomplishment and he genuinely
loved and cared about each boy. He served an LDS mission in "Paradise" where
he grew to love the Tahitian people and their culture. Our family will miss
his Tahitian prayers and lullabies. He loved the gospel of Jesus Christ and
spent many hours in the service of the Lord. He held a variety of callings
including seven years as a veil worker in the Jordan River Temple. He served a
second mission with his sweetheart in the Alabama, Birmingham Mission. He
loved the people of Tuskegee and they loved him. He enjoyed his lifelong
career as a grocer for 50 years and held the position of store manager in many
stores. He was definitely a people person with an outgoing personality which
drew in many customers. His military service was in Korea where he served in
the U.S. Army Infantry-25th Division. He was in charge of the 81 Mortars and
also served as the LDS group leader. Jack is survived by his "Greatest Joys,"
Gary (Marie) Robinson, Danny Robinson, and Shasta, Wendy (Kurt) Rosenhan,
Tanya Robinson, Darrell (Lisa) Robinson, Teresa (Norman) Anderson; 20
grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren. He found simple pleasures in
watching and supporting his family. You could always find him in the audience
