Charley Carrol RobinsonJune 20, 1927 - July 5, 2009Charley Carrol Robinson, 82, went home to be with Jesus Sunday in Albany.  He was born in Spur, Texas, the sixth of seven children born to Julius Pete Robinson and Eunice Lee (Fair) Robinson.In 1946 Charley left Texas to join the Army Air Force.  During this enlistment he was stationed in Hawaii.  He got out of the service in 1948 and returned to Texas.  In 1949 he joined his sister and mother who were living in Ashland.  It was here that he met his wife, Ruth T. Harkey.    They were married Nov. 10, 1949.Charley was recalled to the service for a short time in 1950 during the Korean War.  In March 1952, however, Charley decided to enlist in the Air Force as a career.  He was a cook for most of his service time, but he served as a general's aide the last five years.  When he retired in 1970 with a total of almost 24 years service he had been stationed in Tacoma, Wash.; England; Long Beach, Calif.; Aleutian Islands, Alaska; Edwards AFB, Calif.; Huntsville, Alabama; and Dayton, Ohio.His second career as the groundskeeper for the Siuslaw School District began when Charley and Ruth moved to Florence in 1970.  He retired in 1992.  In addition to his job with the school district he had his own private grounds keeping and landscaping business which he continued until July 2000 when he moved to Albany.Charley was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather.  He is survived by his wife, Ruth; daughter Shirley Campbell and husband Robert of Albany; sons Doug Robinson and wife Laurie of Albany, and Wes Robinson and wife Sabrina of Castro Valley, Calif.; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and brother Pike C. Robinson of Van Buren, Ark.The most important day of Charley's life was when he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior on Easter Sunday in 1949.  No matter where he lived, Charley always joined a local church.  Over the years he served as a deacon, Royal Ranger leader, usher and volunteer.  He was a prayer warrior and a man with a heart that continuously sought for ways to be of service to God and man.  One of his favorite songs, "Everybody Ought to Know Who Jesus Is", reflects his commitment to missions both at home and around the world.   He always made time to witness to those he came in contact with through his words and deeds.   Charley was a great example to his family and those around him of integrity, honesty, accountability and Godly living.  There will be a memorial celebration service for Charley at 1 p.m. Friday at Albany First Assembly of God Church.  At the family's request all contributions should be made to the Albany First Assembly of God missions' fund.  Aasum-Dufour Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.  His cremated remains will be scattered at a later time by the family.  ( www.aasum-dufour.com )
