Rob and I spent many a night discussing all things sports-related in a local dive while sampling a few sophisticated adult beverages. Rob was just simply one of the nicest guys I have ever met.

Rest in Peace my friend.

My memory of Butch was him coming home about the time I was leaving. He gave me some good advice which stuck with me all thru the service. Rest in peace brother in arms. Your cousin Ed Springer. P.S. Aunt Marie, you have been a very spiritual person as long as I can remember. I do not need to tell you that your son is free of earths trials and tribulations. My prayers are with you.

To Cheryl and the Family of Rob Robinson,

I have many fond memories of Rob. We shared many similar political views and I truly enjoyed talking to him about politics! My last memory of Rob was running into him around a year ago at Dierbergs. He was parking his bike and sharing with me how much he was enjoying retirement. I will always remember his smile and friendliness. May his memory be a blessing.

I always considered Robbie a friend. He was very dedicated to his work at Branch 343. He was also a Vietnam Brother of mine who has gone home. I will miss him. Kenneth W. Johnson (KJ)

Rob was our mail carrier for many years and we spoke often. After he retired we would catch up when he went biking. He was a wonderful person and a real mensch. May his memory be a blessing.
