1918-2012
Andrew Leonard Robinson joined his loved ones in Heaven on Oct. 21, 2012. He was born Aug. 1, 1918 in Uriah, Alabama where he was raised. He was the second oldest of nine children born to E. Walter Robinson and Alma Castillow Robinson. He resided in Pensacola, FL. since 1946 after returning from a tour in North Africa with the Air Force during World War II. Being raised during the Great Depression greatly influenced the rest of his life. He learned to be self-reliant and "jack of all trades". A.L. was self-employed and a terrific salesman for the majority of his life. He was a grocery store owner in the 50's and 60's with his wife Melba and also, encyclopedia salesman during this same time. In the 70's and 80's he became a landlord to small rental properties. Lastly, in the 80's and 90's he traveled to different venues selling adjustable beds and chairs. He loved collecting various things which made him quiet the wheeler dealer. His loving family will always remember him for spinning yarns and making up songs for everyone's entertainment, especially the grandchildren.
