Roger D Robinson

Roger was born March 11, 1958 at Putnam County Hospital in Greencastle, IN to John Rufus Robinson and Mollie Lorene (Scaggs) Robinson. He graduated from Cascade High School in 1976 and met his wife, Tracy (Hampton) Robinson, and they married May 3, 1980 at First Baptist Church in Greencastle. Together they built a wonderful life including their two children Kathleen Ellen born in 1984 and Jessica Ruth born in 1987.

Roger worked as a welder for Great Dane Trailers and in Inventory at Crown but the majority of his career was spent as a Railroad Supervisor at Nucor Steel in Crawfordsville, IN. Roger had the ability to make anyone laugh. For many years Roger was active in his church and Promise Keepers. Roger loved to visit the beach, but his peaceful place was always the woods. He loved to deer hunt, pheasant hunt and fish. When he was not in the great outdoors or golfing, you could find him on his mower perfecting his lawn. Late in life Roger remarried Harolyn (Brothers) Robinson on June 9, 2020.

Roger is survived by his wife Harolyn, his eldest daughter Kathleen Ellen (Robinson) Reinoehl (Seth and children Audrey, Emily and Theo, Terre Haute, IN), Jessica Ruth Robinson (Sarasota, FL) and step child Ericka Pfeifer; and siblings Jimmy Robinson (Debbie), David Robinson (Vikki), Ronnie Robinson (Tracey), Janet Wood (Steve) and Patsy Hurrle (Jim) and numerous nephews and nieces.
