Mr. Glennis Robbins, age 75 of Pineville, Kentucky, departed this life on Monday January 13, 2025 at the Baptist Health Hospital in Corbin. He was the son of Wilburn Clyde Robbins and Georgia (Miller) Robbins born to them on March 22, 1949 in Pineville.
Glennis followed in his dad’s footsteps beginning his career with L&N Railroad as a brakeman/flagman. He retired from CSX in 1999 after twenty-five years. He was a member of Wasioto Missionary Baptist Church for over thirty years. Glennis was a quiet man but, loved to share stories about his time with the railroad and his childhood. He even recently began to talk about his time in the Army during the Vietnam Conflict.
