Howard "Howie" Robbins

Hey Howie: Thinking of you tonight here in Brazil . . . Wish we could take one last bike ride together . . . Thanks for the friendship and love, buddy. Cheers! Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

Howard was a good man, a person who would make you laugh and a great cyclist. So many times he would visit San Diego, our home town, and we would bike along the bay, the beach, and Downtown. I miss those bike rides, conversations and the laughter. You were a good man, a fine human being, Howie. Cheers! Joseph

Howard was an inspiration to so many young men and women during his lifetime - and I was one of those lucky people.
I met Howie in San Diego, and we would ride bicycles together to all parts of the city. We spent time together at music concerts, and on college campuses, mingling with students and talking about the wonder of life.
At his age, in his mid-70's when we first met, he was always active and loved life. Howard was a marvel and an inspiration to so many, many people, young...

I remember when Howie Robbins began the Percussion-Nauts. Members of West Valley High School band were proud to be included in his corps. Howie instilled a life-long camaraderie among those students and he was a wonderful role model. His character lives on through the many lives he touched.

Howie was "THE" drummer for our civil war
group "7th Tennessee Inf. C.S.A." always kept us in step at Torch Light parade and
on the battle field. Rest in peace with the Lord, Howie. You will be missed.

Oh, how I wish I could have had one more conversation with you, Howie. You were such a positive influence in my life and in the lives of many others. Rest in Peace.

he was a great teacher of music we will all miss you
