After his discharge in 1946, he returned to Jackson and began working for his father and uncle at Robinson Brothers Auto Repair Shop in Jackson. Later, he was the parts manager for Cummins Diesel for twenty-two years and retired in 1985. Harold enjoyed collecting Indian artifacts and memorabilia from the Civil War, World War I and World War II. Over the years, he spent many happy days shopping at flea markets and garage sales. He was a member of the Jackson Model A Club and held various club offices. Harold took great joy in his many collections including Indian arrowheads, coins, stamps, and records from the Big Band era.

Harold was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 44 years, Jeanne, as well as his parents and infant son, Allen Curtis Robinson. He is survived by his sons, Mark (Becky) and Don (Charlene); five grandchildren, Brett (Kelly), Reed (Gillian), Race (Alyse), Dash (Emily) and Michele; and 10 great-grandchildren.

After moving to Raymond in 1980, Harold and Jeanne joined Raymond Road Baptist Church, where they were active members of the “Joy Lunch Group” and were also part of the church’s mission team that worked with the ministries of Calvary Baptist Church. After Jeanne’s death, Harold remained an active member of his Sunday School class and enjoyed ushering during worship services.
