Robert Elliott "Robin" McCarty, Jr.

My dad was a great man. I'll always remember his big goofy smile, his great taste in movies, and music, and his bear hugs that made me feel like I was completely safe. My dad wasn't the healthiest guy; he ate red, fatty meats, fried food, and oh so many "sugar free cookies". He would never go a night without having one of his dirty martinis (that i was taught to make) around sunset, in a glass with two olives and sometimes a cheese plate. He loved sailing, he loved the thought of being...

You will be missed old friend.

Robin was one of my heroes growing up in Helena in the mid 60's. And for some strange reason I Googled him the day before he passed away. I had been thinking of him. He was Piehead, the talented, over-the-top lead vocalist of "Piehead and the Bluesberries."

The band only lasted through the summer 1966, but some members went on to other bands....

Robin, what can I say? I remember us talking about Nam and you rescuing me on a chopper - sitting on a bar stool, slapping your chest making helicopter rotor sounds and yelling, "I'm comin' to get ya', Frays, hang on!" We had some good times, My Brother, at the Circle, UMIC and First (Fast) Money. Plus, you were one funny dude - always good for a laugh.
To you, Frannie, I know you have some great memories of Robin and I offer you my most sincere condolences. Robin was most...

My old friend, co-worker, fishing partner. I think often about the years we spent taking trips together, fishing together, working together,etc. Rest in peace, my friend.

Robin you were such a good friend to all of us! Even though it's been many, many years, I have not and will not ever forget you or all the great times that we had. Especially the never-ending laughs, Circle Cafe (if the walls could talk) and just your presence. Those were MANY years ago but still etched in my mind. Thank you for all the stories you shared with me and for letting me drive your Jaquar whenever I wanted. :) You are an unforgettable person with a kind soul. Our condolences to...
