Obituary for Thomas Lamar Robinson
Thomas (Robbie) Lamar Robinson (87 years old) passed away Monday, July 6, 2020 in the evening hours at his home in Leesville, Louisiana. After a long stay in the hospital, he was happy to be home and was ready to join his loved ones before him. On the night of his passing, he went peacefully.
Robbie was born in Clanton, Alabama on June 17, 1933 to Samuel Monroe Robinson and Mayvis Pauline Littleton. At a young age, he joined the United States Army and served over 21 years including two tours in Vietnam. After retiring in 1972, he became a long-time resident of Leesville. During his early years he owned a bar called the Dog House Lounge. He also worked at Fort Polk participating in construction projects, and bar tended at the former Leesville location of the American Legion Post 387. He would later raise rabbits and once again work at Fort Polk as a role player supporting JRTC.
During his free time, Robbie loved to read. He was a big fan of Louis Lamar and many other authors who wrote about the old west. His book collection on westerns has grown large and he was very fond of Perry Mason, Matlock, Heat of the Night, and Law & Order. In the afternoons, he would go down to the American Legion Post 145 or VFW Post 3106 to share a drink with family and friends.
Thomas Lamar Robinson was preceded in death by his wife Notburga “Lisa” Robinson, father, Samuel Monroe Robinson, mother, Mayvis Pauline Littleton Robinson, brothers Charles Erskin Robinson, Sammie Eugene Robinson, Branch Robinson, Ralph Conrad Robinson and great grandson Charles Oliver Trosper.
Survived by sisters, Sarah Louise R. Hartin, Elizabeth (Libby) R. McKee, brother Chester Morris Robinson, step-sons, Wilhelm “Billy” Trosper and Rita Corbello, George and Dani Trosper, Bob Trosper, Mike and Lynn Trosper, Glen Ray Trosper and Julie Pruitt; grandchildren, Nancy Laughlin, Austin Trosper, Brittany Trosper, Bobby and Tina Trosper, Georgie and Sarah Trosper, Kevin Trosper, Lisa Trosper, Victoria Doctolero, Aeden and Moria Remsing. Great grandchildren include Taylor Laughlin, Cailynn Self, Aadon Hatchett, Emilee Hatchett, Owen Hatchett, Madison Humphries, Cannan Isiah Trosper, Gideon Uriah Trosper, William Trosper, and Dwayne “Big D” Trosper.
