Fred was born in Glendale, California to Spencer Lee Robinson and Marjorie Anita Stewart Robinson. Growing up in his younger years Fred loved spending time with his family, camping, fishing, and going to the ocean. He always had a great love for the water. As a teenager they relocated to Springville Utah where Fred graduated from Springville high school in 1953. Fred loved his country and shortly after high school he joined the U.S. Navy onboard USS Cusk and USS Diodon.

After his service in the U.S. Navy he returned to Springville Utah to help run the family's service station in Provo Utah. In 1959 he married Catherine Peterson and had 4 of his 5 children with her.

Throughout his life he worked many jobs including as an Engineman in the US Navy, commercial truck driver, maintaining private boats at Lake Powell, and fee collector for National Park service at Lake Powell. Of all these jobs his favorite was as being fee collector for the National Parks service. It's no question why it was his favorite job he was known at Lake Powell by many for being the friendliest National Park Service toll both employee. He met many people in that job as was in his true element when working in that booth.
