Paul was born on February 5, 1941, in Louisville, MS, to Wilbur Euin and Vera Ethel Stokes Robertson. Known as Bob, he was the youngest of eleven children -- his mother often referred to him as, “Barron, my baby.” He was generous of heart to his family and friends which was accompanied by a wonderful smile and his memorable laugh. He would always ask how you were before you could ask him the same. He put himself through apprentice school going on to run his own successful construction company for many years until his passing. If you meet Bob, you would soon want to call him a friend.

He is survived by his children, Anita “Liz” Van De Vanter (Mark), Michele Robertson; his siblings, Wilbur Euin “Junior” Robertson, Maxine Robertson; ex-wife Janice Robertson; his granddaughters Eryn Houston, Amy Knox (Travis); one great granddaughter and numerous nieces and nephews as well as grand nieces and grand nephews.
