Dennis Robin Obituary

Dennis R. Robin, 74, of Crofton, Maryland, died peacefully at home on October 8, 2020. He was born in Washington, DC to Nathan and Silvia Robin. After graduating from Ohio University, he served in the U.S. Army from 1969 to 1971, attaining the rank of Sergeant. Thereafter he earned a law degree in 1975 from the University of Maryland School of Law, where he met his wife, Nancy. His legal career included working on the staff of former Governor Hughes, and as a solo practitioner in Crofton, where he handled diverse legal issues, serving his clients with skill and dedication. He was a member of the Crofton Kiwanis for 37 years, working tirelessly on numerous charitable projects benefiting the community at large. In 2003 he was named Crofton's Citizen of the Year. His hobbies included photography, crabbing, following the Washington Football Team, and enthusiastically playing poker with his friends. He is survived by his loving family: wife, Nancy; children Timothy, Lauren, Sarah, and son-in-law, Steve; and grandchildren Mackenzie and Ethan. Services will be private with a Memorial Service delayed until next year due to COVID.

I worked for Dennis at his law firm as his secretary and I am so saddened to learn of his passing. He was a wonderful boss. He was so dedicated to the Crofton community and was the most honest lawyer I've ever met. My thoughts and prayers to his family and especially his wife Nancy.

I recently learned of Dennis´ passing and was so sorry. Denny was a wonderful person who I met when he clerked for the law firm I was associated with. He was a joy to work with, had a great sense of humor and was a good friend. He will be missed by many.

I served with Dennis in the Army. I was impressed with his enthusiasm. We traveled together to many places. We met for lunch a year ago and agreed we have been blessed with a good life with great family and friends.

He was my moms lawyer and when my mom got to old to take care of everything we had to get power of attorney. He was so gentle and tactful making sure my elderly mother understood what was going on and that her kids had her best interest at hand. I was so glad she had such an honorable lawyer. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing.

Dennis was a good man who always did right by the people he helped. He was a co worker and best friend. He stood by me in the toughest times of my life and never judged me. I will miss him forever, there are no words of comfort that I can give to Nancy and the family. You are in my prayers and thoughts.
