Larry M. Robinson was born in Canton, Mississippi on May 5th, 1942, Larry was the cherished son of Velton and Priscilla Harris Robinson who already had one child, Larry's older sister Joanne Robinson Billingslea.

Larry's journey through life was marked by a deep commitment to service and education. He graduated from Canton High School before bravely serving his country in the Marine Corps, for two tours, during the tumultuous years of the Vietnam War in the mid-1960s. His dedication and bravery during his service earned him the respect and admiration of all who knew him.

After his honorable discharge from the Marine Corps, Larry pursued higher education at Ole Miss, where he earned a master's degree in biology. It was during this time at Ole Miss that he met the love of his life, Patty Robinson. Larry and Patty were united in marriage in March of 1969 in Oxford, MS, embarking on a partnership that would span over five decades.

Larry's legacy extends beyond his academic and military achievements. He was a devoted father to his two sons, Luke Robinson of Brandon, MS and Matthew Robinson of Collins, MS, whom he cherished and supported throughout their lives. Larry's love for his family was evident in everything he did, and his kindness and generosity touched the lives of many.
