Charles Everett Robson | Billings obituaries

Charles E. Robson “Chuck” left this earth to begin his new life with his Creator on November 29, 2021 at Billings Deaconess Hospital. He was 82 years old and had complications related to the COVID-19 virus.

Chuck was born on August 11, 1939 in Roundup, Montana, to Edwin H. Robson and Ann A. (Antolich) Robson. He was the sixth of nine children.

He began his education at Goulding Creek School and graduated from Roundup High School in 1958. As a child he enjoyed playing baseball and helping out with work on his parents’ ranch. Then he fulfilled his military needs with three years of service in the US Army stationed in Italy. After his release, he met Kay Couture and they were married on August 18, 1969 in Billings, Montana. Kay had a son, Gary, whom Chuck raised as his own son. At the time of their marriage they had a daughter, Gay Lynn Robson. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on August 18, 2019.

At the beginning of his professional career he was employed by BLM in their range management program to support ranchers. The U.S. Post was recruiting military veterans and he was hired to work on the Billings Post Office system. After 38 years of service, he retired in 2005. He was honored by the postmaster for his loyal federal service over many years. During his retirement, he continued to enjoy bowling the local leagues, fishing, camping, hiking, sports and old western movies on TV (Gene Autry in particular), maintaining his house, growing a large vegetable garden (proud of his red peppers), and his two great-granddaughters raise. He was the main cook at family gatherings and he loved telling stories and laughing at jokes. If you needed help or advice, Chuck was ready to help. The annual family golf tournament was the highlight of the year. He is missing and is loved and respected by his many family members and bowling friends. He was also the family historian who knew the story of the first family settlers on their ranch property 26 miles southeast of Roundup, Montana. His many friends included all of the Billings people who went to the post office to buy postage stamps and postal packages, which he did with a friendly smile.
