Jennifer, Matt & Jon.
My condolences on your loss. I always had a great time swapping stories with Robbie at scout functions. I'll miss that smile and laugh.

Bobbie was always a good friend and the kind of guy that would give you the shirt of his back. He was a hard worker and quite a knowledgeable HVAC technician. He loved Scouting, Pack 770, and troop 700. I remember all the hard work and time he volunteered and the kids appreciated it. Robbie was a member of AMVETS post 89 and was a Navy Veteran who served on the USS Bowen during Operation Desert Storm. It is so sad that he passed away and he will be missed by many.

I remember the day of giving Robbie one of his first baby bottles, the warm milked no sooner filled his tummy and he was sound asleep. He was a total bundle of joy and grew up to be a wonderful caring individual never forgetting family. Robbie is with his mom now in the promised land. Condolences to Jennifer and his sons.

Robbie and I were brothers in arms, and he always understood when my military obligations took higher priority. He clearly understood service, and he always demonstrated integrity and loyalty. He was a good friend to me and my sons, and genuinely cared for every scout he met. The Westerville Civitans and I thank you for your service to Cub Scout Pack 770 & Boy Scout Troop 700. You will be missed, but never forgotten. See you on the other side, brother!

I took this photo of Robbie at the 100th Anniversary of Scouting event. He enjoyed sharing the fun of scouting with his sons, Matthew & Johnathon. We have gotten to know the family with our shared events in the Troop 700 family. We will miss his smile, and our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family.

I will miss Robbie. He always had a great sense of humour and was a giving person. I remember a winter scout outing where we were snore mates. We both snored and shared a room at the cabin. Our prayers go out to his family.

Loved the Big Guy like a brother. He was always willing to come to our rescue concerning home repairs when we were in way over our heads. He was a master story teller that would leave us in tears of laughter with his colorful descriptions of everyday occurrences. He was a big bear of a man with a heart of gold. Always had a twinkle in his eye and an impish grin that was so enduring. Miss you Robbie, but you left a lifetime of memories that will never be forgotten.

Robbie will be missed. The last boyscout outing I was at with him was a canoe trip. I was his partener in the canoe and it was one of the best times I had. God Bless You Robbie, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
