I am saddened to learn of Robbies passing. We were in band together at Thornton Township H.S. in Harvey, Il. The bond of music brought us together as friends and I thought of him many times over the years. My heart goes out to Robbies family in this time of profound loss.Wishing you strength in difficult days ahead.
A childhood friend,

Every time I hear Sonny and Cher song I got you babe I think of the afternoons we spent after school watching American bandstand. You are such a big part of my early years and I was glad to reconnect toward the end. Your memory will live on through your family and friends.

Goodbye dear cousin. We started our friendship when we were so tiny. We had so much in common. One was our love of music. I will miss you
