STEVE ROBINSON Verona - Stephen Randall Robinson, 56, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, March 13, 2014, at his home. He was born June 20, 1957, to Grady J. Robinson and Celester V. Robbins Robinson. An entrepreneur, he was a computer genius & electronic whiz. He owned many businesses where he fixed and sold computers, typewriters and could even run electrical lines. He had an amazing sense of humor and was an outstanding people person.
