"We reflect on a notable life!" Hayes C. Robbins A Baby Boy was born to Hayes C. and Edna Mae (Newton) Robbins Sr. on November 12, 1933, in Gibson Station, Oklahoma, and they named him Hayes C. Robbins, Jr. Hayes grew up a happy child. While living there he attended Phyllis Wheatley Elementary and Lincoln High School in Wagoner, OK. At the tender age of twelve he joined St. John Baptist Church where, in 1997 he became Deacon. (His favorite song was "This Little Light of Mine") He was a man of many talents and had a deep love for fishing, playing dominos and all sports. He was also on the roster for the LA Dodgers. He was affectionately known as "Hog-AKA Pig Robbins" to many of his employers and those who knew him. Hayes retired from the City of Wagoner after 17 years plus of service.
