Norman Thorp Robinson

Norman was born November 10, 1937 to the late Percy and Margaret (Luper) Robinson in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Through the years, Norman developed a love for traveling, reading, playing golf, watching Durham Bulls baseball games and all things related to Les Miserables.

Norman was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, having served his country in France and Germany.

After leaving the Air Force, Norman went on to spend 32 years of his professional career with CSX Transportation in Rocky Mount and Hamlet, NC. He worked his way up to the General Manager position before retiring.

Norman is preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Julia Weaver.

Norman is survived by his wife, Myrna Kay Bell Robinson, daughters, Elizabeth Robinson and Jennifer Robinson White (Jeff), grandchildren, Brandon Slifker and Conner White, brother, Dwight Robinson and sister, Shirley Frederick.
