Greg was born June 23, 1954, in Memphis, Tennessee to G. A. Robinson, Jr and Nell Bankston Robinson who both preceded him in death.

He is survived by his wife Kathy Poortvliet Robinson of Rossville, Tennessee and one brother G. A. Robinson III of Memphis, Tennessee.

He will be remembered by his nieces, nephews, cousins and other family and friends who knew him as a ‘rascal’ and a true and faithful friend. Greg will be especially missed by his canine family, Elvis and Lulu.

Greg attended PDS, East High School and Memphis State University. He farmed in Robinsonville, Mississippi for a number of years and retired from G A Robinson Land Company where he worked with his dad and brother. He won numerous barbeque cooking contests, including one in Ireland, loved photography, and volunteered for fund raising events for NFT and St Jude.

His favorite thing to say was “Oh, Yeah ! Watch this…” He was loved by many and will be missed.

There is an empty place in this world where Greg Robinson dwelt, but his memory lives on in our hearts.
