Larry Lee Robinson, 81, of Topeka passed away Sunday, March 5, 2023 at Midland Care hospice surrounded by his daughter, son in law, and three granddaughters.

He was born May 22, 1941 in Great Bend, Kansas, the son of Roy Gene and Elora (Devine) Robinson. He graduated from Pawnee Rock high school in 1959. He served in the United States Air Force from 1963- 1967 as a unit health technician where he earned a Nation defense service medal.

Larry was married to Judy Bass and they had one daughter together born in 1971; they later divorced.

Larry lived in Aneheim, California for many years before returning to Kansas. Larry was employed as an automotive salesman by Marmie Motors in Great Bend, Ks for 18 years, retiring in 2009.

He then moved to Topeka to be closer to his daughter and her family. Larry was a member of Christ the King Church in Topeka, Kansas.

Survivors include his daughter Holly Rivera, son in law Matthew Rivera both of Topeka; granddaughter Madeline Rivera (25) of Lawrence, KS, granddaughter Gabriella Rivera (22) of Lawrence, KS, and granddaughter (15) Eva Rivera of Topeka, KS. He was preceded in death by both parents, brothers Ray and Ronald Robinson, and former wife Judy Bass- Schimmel.

Larry enjoyed cars, cooking, football, history, watching the news, talking with other veterans and spending time with his granddaughters whom he adored beyond measure. He was always called “Papa Larry“ by those who loved him best. Larry had the gift to “gab” and did not know a stranger.
