Douglas was born on August 2, 1945 in Shinnston, WV a son of the late Robert Edward and Georgeanna Blanche Swiger Robinson.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of more than 28 years, Sandra Robinson.
Doug was a veteran of the United States Navy stationed in Brunswick, MD. He was a crane operator and business agent for the Local IUOE 132 Operating Engineers in Clarksburg, retiring after more than 30 years of service.
He was a fantastic artist. Some of his art was carving on hardhats for his co-workers and making beautiful photos out of names written on napkins. He was a very active member of the Shriners International.
Doug had an infectious personality, never met a stranger, and was a true social butterfly.
A celebration of Doug’s life will be held at a later date.
