"Bob" Robinson, age 96, of Broadus passed away on Sunday, June 22, 2014 at the Powder River Manor in Broadus. Frank P. Robinson, better known as Bob, was born April 13, 1918, in Douglas, Wyoming. He was the fifth child of George and Myrtle A. Robinson. The Robinsons lived on a ranch about half way between Douglas and Gillette. His Dad was an avid horseman, as well as cattle rancher so Bob learned to ride at an early age. He and his five sisters and two brothers rode horseback or drove a buggy 3 or 4 miles to school were Bob completed the eighth grade. He told many stories of going on horse roundups when he was quite young. He attended high school for a time in Oshkosh, Nebraska and then in Douglas, Wyoming. At the age of 15 he went to work on a nearby ranch. George Robinson and his brother Ed ran many horses which all of the family helped to break. Bob said that every time they got a nice bunch broke his Dad would sell them and run in as new bunch for them to break. In 1937 the family moved to a ranch near Biddle, MT. Bob helped trail livestock, bringing more horses than they did cattle from the Wyoming ranch to Biddle. He made this trip seven times helping Dorrs, his two uncles, and his Dad trail livestock. They camped out at night. Since WWII was on, Bob enlisted in the army at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, January 1942. He chose that place to enlist because it was a remount outfit and they had many horses. At one time they had 11,000 horses and 7,000 mules, which the soldiers had to care for and train. Bob earned a rating of Staff Sargent (Technician 3rd Grade) and on his discharge in December, 1945, remarks that he was a horse breaker. At one time Bob's captain said that "There's one man here who isn't the best bronc rider but is best at keeping a horse from bucking." Bob and Virginia Lee Rumph were married on September 15, 1942, and lived in Crawford, Nebraska, for about three years. In 1946 they moved to a part of the LO ranch where Bob worked breaking horses and riding on cattle. Their oldest daughter was born in Chadron, Nebraska, in 1944, son Dennis was born in Miles City, MT in 1946. Gordon was born in 1948 and Gwynne in 1950. They ranched in Powder River and Carter counties from 1950 through 1979 when they moved to a ranchette along the Little Powder. Bob always enjoyed rodeoing and usually found some time to practice, participate, or watch. He was preceded in death by his three children, Anita, Gordon, Gwynne, his parents, and six of his siblings. He is survived by his wife, Virginia, of nearly 72 years, his son, Dennis (Linda), grandchildren Gerri Lynn (Dave), Juanita (Zane), Joy (Dave), Michele (Rob), Chad (Lisa), Nicole (Scott), twelve great grandchildren, three great great granddaughters. Montana has lost one of the last, great cowboys. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 from 1:00-6:00 p.m. at Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home in Broadus.
