So sorry to hear the sad news. Robbie was a truly nice person. Super funny, and great loyal friend. Rob was such a good friend to me and others through middle school and high school. You could always count on him for a funny story, a ride home in the "Blue Flame" and strong shoulder to lean on. He was always keeping a look out for his two "little" sisters and his regular crew of buddies. While we lost contact over the years I will always have fond memories of the crew at Gerry Proulx's house listening to music and having a couple of "socials" before heading out to the football games on Friday nights.

You will be missed.

You learn a lot about someone by watching them play sports. What I learned about you, Robbie, was no matter how far behind we ever were, or no matter who booted a ball, you would never get down; you would never let us get down, either. Always positive, always fought til the end. You always had a fist bump and a smile for everyone, Bud. We should all be so lucky to have a teammate, a leader and a friend like you, Rob.

I will miss his antics. He was funny and such a quick wit. I already miss him knocking on office door frame and flipping me off. Hahahaha. I never had to look up I always knew who it was. Thoughts and prayers to all his family. Huge hug to Marty you have constantly been in my thoughts.

Robbie as I knew him was one of the funniest people I've probably ever met in my entire life you never knew what was going to come out of his mouth and he is one of very few people in the world that I know could say the things he could say And get away with it and it still comes off is somewhat polite I never could figure out how he did it I saw him about a month ago when I delivered for my job that I work at now and we did our formal introduction yo Robby he said what he normally called me chip -ick was a joke that he used to call my boss that all the time and I want everyone to know what a true hearted person Rob was he really was he loved his wife he loved his kids and his grandkids and he loved life but I never would see him smile like I did when he talked about his family I'll miss you forever buddy until we meet again Adelaide always say to you when I ended our conversations go Bears and he did reply yeah yeah Titans buddy!
