Thanks, Mr Robuck, for all that you did for the students of Burrell High School. You were a wonderful teacher and mentor to so many of us. We will miss you. Rest in peace.

A life well lived! May you rest in peace Coach! He became my coach in swimming starting in the 9th grade through my senior year in Burrell High School. Picked my up before school started so we could practice swimming before school and after school. He was a great man and teacher. Thank you for all that you did for each one of us. My deepest condolences for the family.

When George Fastuca and I had lunch with Mr. Robuck a few years ago, his sense of humor and that trace of mischief in his personality had not diminished. He pulled out an old photograph of himself and commented: "After making this body, God threw the mold away." I have such fond memories from high school when Coach Robuck led our swimming and diving team at Burrell, which included a section championship in 1967. We had lots of fun!

My deepest sympathy to the family.
I had the privilege of Mr Robuck teaching me how to swim and then later, teaching with him. He was always so kind and always looked at the bright side of life. Such a fun character.

You officiated many of my high school volleyball matches! You always had a smile on your face and offered me coaching advice as well. You were a joy to know. May you Rest In Peace and my sincerest condolences to your family!

I will always remember Mr. Robuck. He taught this BHS diver a lot through his use of the trampoline. I also had him for gym and gymnastics club.

A great Teacher and could tell I was Faking pretending to swim. He took me off to the side and asked " Do you know how to swim ? " I told him I made it through 10 grade figured I could fake it two more years. He took me to the pool and within a few weeks I was swimming . I became a certified diver in Florida and Law Enforcement officer I used my skills my entire Law Enforcement Years of service and yes Recovered a drowning victim and provided CPR. He was a great teacher !
