My deepest condolences to Glenys and the family - Both she and Robin represent the best of us, among the most kind and compassionate people I have ever known. That the world is far less for his absence from it is tempered by the fact that the world is so much better for his having been in it. My thoughts, my prayers, and my love are with you all at this most impossible of times.

I'm sorry to hear of Robin's passing. I will forever remember the glint in his eyes when he spoke. My best to Glenys and Robbie (who I haven't seen in many years).
I was looking for something about Hill and Plain school my high school class was discussing on facebook half an hour ago, found things he'd been interviewed for about the old Hill and Plain, then stumbled on this.

Glenys,
I am so sorry to hear of Robin's passing. He will be greatly missed, I'm sure, in New Milford. I enjoyed talking to him about cemeteries and their care and the history of the area. He truly cared about our historic cemeteries, and we shared an interest in Gallow's Hill.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
