Wayne Moore Robinson

Wayne Moore Robinson passed from this life on Friday, July 5, 2013. He was the youngest child and only son of Eva and Wilbur Robinson. Wayne was born February 11, 1932 in the Salem Community near Bethel Springs, TN, where he lived most of his life.

After High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving as a Flight Engineer on a PBM aircraft. He later joined the USAF Reserve and retired as Staff Sergeant. Wayne was a very active member of the VFW, serving as Commander of his post.

He worked for the Tennessee Department of Transportation and later formed his own asphalt company paving driveways and small parking lots.

Wayne loved bream fishing, poker, bridge and cribbage. He was more at home on his mower than at the movies! He loved basketball, cheering for the MSU Tigers and coaching Pee Wee Teams. He loved animals, enjoying the company of his border collies, raising cows, and especially caring for his recuperating white tail fawn named Precious.

He was preceded in death by his parents and two of his sisters, Etta Jones and Joy Cox.

Left to miss him is his sister, Maxine Carroll; his wife, Barbara; his children, John Robinson, Julie Westmoreland and husband Fred, and Adam Robinson and wife Ina; grandchildren, Toby and Alex Reeves, Abby Westmoreland, Anna and Erin Robinson. He was a member of the Bethel Springs Presbyterian Church.
