To the family and wife of Dr. Lynn Robbins, sorry to hear about your passing. From what I gather you were a great doctor and helped many. Didn't know you except on Facebook. Loved your posts and your passion for sports. You were a good friend to your friends on Facebook. Thanks for your support when I had a question. May your soul rest in peace in God's glory.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Robbins in the operating room at Kettering for several years. He was always so kind and so happy. He loved to talk about politics and sports. He was one of my favorites! We were also friends on Facebook and I always loved reading his comments. He’s a great guy!!!

Dr. Robbins saw me through several surgeries. He was always kind and did offer comfort during those times. We had several conversations and I came to think of him as a friend. I pray for his wife as she moves forward without her husband. She can always remember her husband is close as he's in her heart forever.
