Arizona, LA: Reece was born on October 2, 1914 to Hudson Allen and Ethel Willis Thomason Robinson in his parent's home in Arizona, LA. He is descended from the Claiborne Parish pioneering family of Hudson Allen Robinson, Sr. and his wife Sarah Jane Goodson Robinson. He lived in Arizona for almost all of his life. He was a member of the Arizona United Methodist Church having joined on August 21, 1924. He was an active member of the church, serving on the Board of Directors and as a Trustee for the church. He was very active in civic affairs in the area. He was one of the founders and builders of the Arizona Rural Life Museum and served as a Board Member. He also served as a Board Member and Vice-President of the Forest Grove Cemetery Association. He served the Association as a Director for 33 years and in a special tribute during the Association's regular meeting in May 2006, he was presented with a plaque by the Board President honoring him for his many years of dedicated service (which included mowing the cemetery at no charge for over 15 years, helping dig graves with a shovel in the earlier years, and for numerous other issues that he handled). At that meeting in 2006 he was named Director Emeritus.
