Robin was a regular customer at the grocery store where I work. He was the first customer in the store every Tuesday and Friday. He always came to the bakery for his fresh chocolate croissants and calabrese bun. He was a very routined man. Even 20 years ago when I worked in the bakery at a different store he was a regular customer you could count on like clock work. He was always friendly to everyone at work and we missed him that very first day he didn't come in.
I only knew him as a customer but even to the staff at Phil's Independent he is missed.

Robin Craven was a brilliant man with skills that will be hard to replace for those he worked for. It has only been a few days since his passing, and my sadness is overwhelming. After 40 years of friendship I will miss him forever.
