Donald Robson Obituary
Mr. Robson retired from Cummins Engine Co., Columbus, in 1979. One of Don's hobbies was that he enjoyed bowling, as he bowled with the Early Pacers and Jaco Bowling leagues. Family was always at the top of his priority list; they were everything to him, especially his wife of 56 years.
Born in Corydon on Oct. 8, 1933, he was the son of Marshall A. and Altha Ferree Robson, both of whom preceded him in death. On May 16, 1953, he married Margaret Grabill Robson, who survives.
Poppy will be greatly missed by his wife; son, Michael (Linda) Robson; daughters, Pamela (Terry) Underwood and Ramona (Kenny) Brooks; grandchildren, Kenny (Lauren) Brooks, Kelly (Matt) Speicher, Jennifer
Underwood, Amberly Don (Dustin) Bohall, Jessica (Herb) Gross, Jeremy Robson and Mikey Robson; great-grandchildren, Lendon Underwood, Madison Robson, Kamzi Gross, Avery Brooks, Emily Robson, Kowan Gross, Kendall Brooks, Bailey Don Bohall and Pathie Speicher; brother, Gerald (Theresa) Robson; and sisters Janie Omerso and Mary Ann Soergel.
He was preceded in death by a brother, Dallas Robson, and a sister, Darlene Hendricks.
The Rev. Andrew Currao will conduct funeral services at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Voss Chapel, Seymour. Entombment will take place at Riverview Cemetery on Monday.
Friends may call from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and from 9:30 a.m. until time of service Saturday at the funeral home.
Memorial gifts may be given to the Alzheimer's Association.

To Mike, Pam and Mona,
There could not have been a better neighbor than Don. He was so wonderful to Dad when he was sick, and then to Mom after Dad died. Helping around the house and just looking after Mom when they lived in Reddington. Leesa and I both love your Mom and Dad. He will be missed. We will keep you in our prayers.

Don was one great person that will never be forgotten!!! There was never a dull moment when he was around. He was the life of the party. He was either laughing or making a group of people he was around laugh. He was one person that could just light up a room when he walked in with his smile and great personality. He was also always there to help when someone was in need. He was also a worker! He was never afraid to jump in and get his hands dirty and was definantly a jack of almost every trade. Don may be gone from earth, but he will never be gone from everyone's heart!!! He will forever be missed.
Love,

To Aunt Margaret, Mike, Pam, Mona and your families:
We are saddened to hear about Uncle Donald's passing. We loved his big smile and contagious humor! He always made you feel so welcome when we came to visit Aunt Margaret and him! We always had such fun visiting at New Year's sitting by their warm wood stove and enjoying Aunt Margaret's delicious holiday desserts!!
We will be coming down Friday afternoon and then attending Uncle Donald's visitation and his funeral on Saturday morning. Looking forward to seeing all of you.
You are in our prayers that the Lord will confort you in your loss.
