I only just learned that Robin passed and remember him as my wonderful God father. He was a loved son, father and friend.

What a loss - Robin was a true gentleman in every way, made of a fabric that is no longer to be found. It was an honour to know him as both a colleague and a friend. Sincere condolences to Donna and the family.

We are so sad to hear of Robin's passing. He was one of the most genuine people we knew and generous to a fault. This is a great loss for all who knew him and our hearts and prayers go out to his wife Donna and his children whom he loved so much.

I was honored when as a PR person , I was asked by Robin to join Chetwynd Films as director of marketing. Robin taught me so much about the film industry and was the kindest employer I ever had . He was a gentle giant.

So sorry to learn of Robin's passing. He was a kind, generous and genuine person...a rare combination.
It was a priviledge working with him.

I was shocked to read about Robin. Too young. Too soon.
I remember him well from the Eaton's Junior Council days in the latter 1960's. The Council was comprised of representatives from Toronto high schools.What I recall was his energy and enthusiasm for life and the film industry. He was obviously going places. He certainly did that! What a career. As a member of the media I came across Robin's name numerous times over the years, but unfortunately never had the chance to reconnect. He was just too busy. What a life and legacy he has left.
My sincerest condolences to his family. The media world is sadder for his loss.

Dear Kim, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's death. These will be hard days for you. A lovely memory of Robin coming to your ski races and cheering on his beloved daughter. I hope all those that love you will give you some comfort in the days ahead. I am thinking of you. love Shirley Pommier

We have been out of touch for years now, but we have fond memories of the times we spent with Donna and Robin, most often over good food, and always with stimulating conversation. Our sincere condolences to Donna and the family.

He was a loving, gentle man, and a breath of fresh air. We didn't see him often, but knowing he is no longer here, is so sad.

Robin and I worked together representing people working in Alberta's motion picture industry. We quickly became friends and I gained a lot of repect for Robin, who was always ready stand up for "the little guy". His sharp wit and insightful nature made him a very higly regarded, important figure in our industry. You will be sorely missed my dear friend. Much love to Donna and family.

I am saddened to learn of Robin's passing. I had nothing but admiration and respect for the courage and dignity that Robin exhibited during his illness. Last year I was miss-diagnosed with the same affliction that finally did him in. Even though I did not know him well, I turned to him for support. He gave it to me sincerely and generously. His joy on learning that I did not have cancer was heartfelt. My condolences to Donna and family.

Robin was a most passionate and thoughtful man who dedicated much of his time and energy in making Alberta a better place to practice the art and craft of visual story telling. I worked with Robin on various issues through the Alberta Film Advisory Council for several years and he is missed by all of us.

I had the honour of working with Robin on the Alberta DGC Board. He could always cut through the bull, find the humour and get to the heart of everything. It was a privilege to call him a friend.

Sad to hear of Robin's passing. He will be missed by myself and the many sailors at the National Yacht Club fortunate enough to have spent some quality time with Robin "messin about in boats". My sympathies to the family.

I had the privilege of working at Chetwynd Productions with Robin at the very start of my career, and it was the best film school anyone could ever attend. Robin gave me great opportunities and tremendous trust, and he and Donna treated me like one of the family from day one. We spent a great deal of time together in those days, working, sailing, working some more. He was a great mentor and I often think of those early days in Toronto with fondness.
He set me on my way in the film business and I will always be grateful to the Chetwynd family, Robin especially. My deepest sympathies to Donna, Kim, Peter, Terri, Heather and the family.

Robin and his father gave me my start in the film business in the mid 1960s and I have only the fondest memories of him.

Honored to have known him . His knowledge and insight into bettering the Alberta Film Industry was so welcomed. He saw through the BS with a smile and a passionate retort. Thank you. Keep the angels laughing with your stories, Robin!

Robin and I were friends for many years. We met while working on the Player's GM Motorsport Series together in 1987, he doing our television, I looking after the series administration. I came to respect Robin as a straight shooter, his word always his bond his counsel and good cheer always welcome and so valuable. We shared stories and wine and we sailed together. Robin was one of the good guys, the really good guys. We will miss him. Cathy and I extend our deepest sympathies to Donna and his family.

So sorry to hear of Robin's passing. It is hard to fathom how the years have past, and that we are all nearing those twilight years. I too have had the pleasure of working with Robin both during his years with Chetwynd Films and later as we shared many strategy sessions during his tenure with the Directors Guild here in Alberta. I enjoyed the many hours of stimulating conversation. Rest well old friend, you will be missed...

Robin was a tireless and passionate supporter of the Alberta Film Industry. That passion will be missed, as will his love of telling a good story, that great smile, and infectious laugh. Thanks for it all Robin.

I had the privilege of calling Robin a friend. He always made time to listen, a kind word of encouragement and was the first to get behind a right and just cause. He will be greatly missed....

Words cannot even begin to express my sorrow my dearest friend, sister. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear right now, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared between you and your father comfort you now and in the days and months ahead. I love you and want to let you know that I am here for you anytime you need me. xoxoxo
