Gulfport was Steven Jay Robins adopted home. He loved his little city by the bay. Steve joined the Navy after graduating from H.B. Plant High School and was assigned to the USS Pueblo in 1967. On 23 January 1968 Steve Robin was wounded and taken prisoner along with 82 surviving crew members when the Pueblo was attacked and seized by the North Korean Navy.
The crew of the USS Pueblo spent almost a year in a North Korean prison.
After the Navy, Steve graduated from the University of Maryland then worked for the Department of the Army. After his retirement Steve moved to Gulfport where he continued his service to his community. Although disabled and sometimes in poor health Steve volunteered to assist troubled youths before the Pinellas County courts as an appointed Guardian Ad Litem. He fished, enjoyed his breakfast buddies and spent time with his energetic black Lab.
