It was Jerry Robinson. He and his wife Mallie had five children, and Jack Roosevelt Robinson was the youngest, born on January 31, 1919 in Cairo, Georgia. Jerry Robinson eventually abandoned his family and they never heard from him again. Jackie Robinson once wrote: "To this day I have no idea what became of my father. Later, when I became aware of how much my mother had to endure alone, I could only think of him with bitterness. He, too, may have been a victim of oppression, but he had no right to desert my mother and five children."
Jerry eventually followed his brother through Loyola High School and Loyola Marymount University and into the world of banking. As a management trainee at Union Bank in Los Angeles, Jack found Jerry a summer job in the mailroom.
