'''Grover C. Robinson III''' ([[1944]]-[[2000]]) was a lawyer, politician and real estate agent who represented [[Florida House of Representatives District 3|District 3]] in the Florida House for 14 years and founded commercial realty firm [[Grover Robinson & Associates]].
He faced only primary opposition in [[1982]] and ran unopposed in [[1984]]. He did not seek reelection in [[1986]], choosing to spend more time at home with his family. At the time he told constituents, "Forty-two seems kind of young to be retiring from anything ... but I know it is the right decision for us at this stage of our family and professional career."
[[Escambia County Supervisor of Elections]] [[Bonnie Jones]] later said of Robinson's political career, "He was one of the best legislators we ever had. Everybody liked him. Even now, people always went to him asking for political advice on running for office."
