Paul Robinson, 99, of Akron, Ohio passed away peacefully on January 27, 2024.

Born in Lovingston, Virginia on April 11, 1924, Paul proudly served his country during WWW II as a corporal in the United States Army stationed in Germany, France, and Italy. After returning home, Paul left Virginia and moved to Akron, Ohio where he met his wife of 54 years Minnie Mae Foster. He retired after 40 years of service at B.F. Goodrich in 1986 never missing a day of work outside of a union strike. Paul continued to work his side jobs full-time until permanently retiring in 2001.

His strong faith in God was rewarded with a long, healthy, and productive life.
