He resided in Lakewood Village, CA and owned Robinett Restaurants (McDonalds). James contributed immeasurably to the Bellflower Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis Club.

I did not know Jim, but I am familiar with his brother Mike, and sister Tammy, and to a lesser extent his mom.
I can tell though from knowing Mike and Tammy that he must've been a great guy and wonderful husband and daddy.
May God bless you and your family Jim Robinette.

The Halloween parties and the Super Bowl parties! Jim was always a gracious host and always a good time waiting to happen! He had a golden and beautiful heart! How ironic that the one thing that made him the wonderful man that he was, was also the thing that took him from us too soon.....his heart!
