Billy Robinson Obituary
Billy was preceded in death by the love of his life and wife of 55 years, Vera Fowler Robinson.
A proud United States Army veteran, Billy served from 1956 to 1958 as a paratrooper, stationed at Fort Knox and traveling the world. Following his military service, he dedicated 30 years to Gaston College as the Shipping and Receiving Supervisor. Known for his warm heart and generous spirit, Billy was a collector of treasures-especially watches-a master woodworker, and a friend to all. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a man who touched countless lives with his kindness. In recent years, he was a familiar face at the 161 Flea Market, manning the booths and making friends with everyone.
Inurnment will take place at 11:00 AM Monday, December 22, 2025 in Hollywood Cemetery.

Bill was so wonderful to my family! He helped me build a playhouse for my girls when they were little and was always there to lend a helping hand. I have a lot of his handmade cedar work still! He will be missed so much. Such a great man.
