Greeley Allen Robinson

So I went on a vacation and ended up staying with my aunt in Flagstaff.  I didn't know much about my mom's dad, Greeley Allen Robinson, or Robbie, as he was called.  I learned that he liked to build boats and do all the woodwork inside of them.  All while my aunt Mary was growing up she remembers him working on a 40-footer boat.  I also learned that he played golf and that after he married his second wife, Lois Caroline, they built a house in Mazatlan and had a great time there.  He died in 1983 when I was almost 2 years old, so I don't remember him.  I do remember his wife Lois sending me birthday cards but I don't remember meeting her (though I'm sure I met both of them).  Anyway.  They are buried in Phoenix, so on my way home from Flagstaff, I visited them for the first time.  Very cool.
