Don was a skier at a very young age and became a ski jumper while in high school.

He was an avid photographer starting in the fifth grade where

he had his own darkroom on his parent's farm in Idaho.

He attended schools in Weiser, Idaho and Idaho State University in

Pocatello, Idaho and served in the US Army for four years.

He worked in the retail business which gave him options of having jobs in different states.

His job transfers took him from Idaho to Las Vegas, Nevada and then to a very small town in

Turner, Kansas where he met Ivon.

His job took them to Sandy, Utah, Irving, Texas and in 1983 they moved to

Coppell, Texas where they reside today.

From 1996-2001, Don and Ivon had a photography studio in Coppell called Robinson Photography.

After retirement, Don was great about doing "honey-dos", helping others with household projects,

and doing some traveling to stay in touch with family members.

A memorial will be held at their home in Coppell, Texas on February 10, 2019.

He will be laid to rest in Chapel Hill Cemetery in Kansas City, Kansas.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to your favorite charity or church.
