James Carville Robinson of Millington, MD, passed away Friday, Dec. 11, 2020, at Christiana Hospital in Newark, DE. He was 87. Mr. Robinson was born Aug. 10, 1933, in Millington, MD, the son of the late William Noland Robinson and Ruby Mae King Robinson. After graduating high school, Carville served his country in the United States Army. After an honorable discharge, he returned home and, in 1963, married Katherine “Kitty” Walters. After 23 years as a senior manager and officer of the Millington Bank, Carville worked for Hogans Insurance Agency in Chestertown as a senior agent and realtor for 40 years and retired in 2008. Throughout his life, Carville was always a very active member of the community, helping anyone in need. He served on the Kent & Queen Anne’s Hospital board (which became Chester River Health Systems) for 25 years and the Magnolia Hall Nursing Center board. He was a member of the Millington Lions Club for 60 years and a Melvin Jones recipient, the Millington Volunteer Fire Department for 60 years and past treasurer, Masonic Lodge 115, American Legion, Bay Area Association of Realtors, Inc., Maryland Association of Realtors, and National Association of Realtors. In his younger years, Carville enjoyed playing and coaching baseball and softball, and playing tennis. Throughout his life, he enjoyed traveling; playing poker (or any card game) with his closest friends; and spending time with his family. Carville was an avid sports fan of the Baltimore Orioles, Colts, and Ravens. One his most cherished sports memories was being in attendance at Yankee Stadium for the so-called “greatest game ever played” – the 1958 NFL Championship between the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants, won in sudden-death overtime by his beloved Colts. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by one son, Ben Rash of Charleston, SC, as well as two brothers, Gilbert Robinson and Allen Robinson.

A graveside service will be held privately by the family in Asbury Cemetery in Millington, MD. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date due to the COVID 19 Pandemic.
