Margaret and Bill loved to travel, play golf, and entertain friends at their home, including weekly "football night" parties.

Sunny days were frequently spent swimming or lounging in the backyard pool. Margaret and Bill both enjoyed spending time reading and watching old movies. Bill would watch every Western and war movie that came along. Margaret spent her spare time sewing for the grand kids, cooking, making ceramics and playing card games and puzzles with the family.

In the early 1960's, Bill and his brother created Robinson Brothers Construction. In the mid-1960's, the brother's decided to go their separate ways and Bill changed the name to RobCo Construction. In the early 1970's the name was changed to Pacific Underground Installations, Inc, which, Bill, with some help from Margaret, ran until his death. After Bill's death, their son, Steve, took over the business.

Bill would tell of one morning when he was enjoying his usual morning ritual of sitting at the table drinking his morning cup of coffee and reading the newspaper. Suddenly, he felt a good whack on his head and looked around to see why his bride had hit him... not knowing what he possibly could have done to deserve such a thing. Fortunately, it was not Margaret who had hit him on the head,it was, instead, a light fixture, chandelier type, that had dropped from the ceiling and whacked him on the head.

Surviving Bill was his wife, Margaret Evelyn (McGregor) Robinson and children, Kellie (Robinson) McNeff, Steven Robinson, Karren (Robinson) Cordell and several grand children.
