He later ventured into Asphalt work and ownership in a Ready-Mix Company along with a Sand and Gravel Facility that he and his oldest son Robby operated.

At one time the Company employed about 50 people, they did the excavation work on most all the freezer facilities in Russellville. Did some street improvement projects for the City of Russellville and still do commercial and residential work. He was still working with Robinson, Inc. when he passed. He was happiest with his friends and family around.
