Robert Roy Robinson, 72, of Hydro, Oklahoma, entered eternal rest on April 6, 2024, in Midwest City, Oklahoma. He was born on May 20, 1951, in Garden City, Kansas, the son of George Leroy "Roy" and Oda Faye (Deyoe) Robinson.

Bob grew up on a farm outside of Ulysses, Kansas where he learned lifelong skills of self-reliance, perseverance, and hard work. He graduated from Ulysses High School in 1969. He farmed in his early adult life and later worked in the oil and gas industry in Oklahoma, working for Hamm & Phillips in Thomas & Elk City, OK and later retiring from Ventura Refinery where he had been the sales manager. He was an avid fan of NASCAR and NHRA. He enjoyed racing stock cars and was able to attend NHRA drag races several times in Topeka, Kansas. He loved working in his shop, garden and yard and spending time with family and friends. He was a jokester and always enjoyed having a good time! Bob took pride in having the hottest cars around – his last being a bright yellow 2012 Camaro.
