James G. Robbins Jr.

Jim was one of the funniest men we knew. Memories of camping with him are full of laughter. Our condolences to all his family. Liz we are thinking of you. Take special care. Rest in peace Jim. Molly Morrell

Jim Robbins was beyond one of a kind. He was my godfather, and also uncle for a short time. There were countless gatherings growing up with Jim that became legendary parts of the family lore, mainly because of his virtuosic gift of being able to make others laugh uproariously and his astounding ability to tell a story. I think he told the story of my grandmother sending the family dog into the University club (to find my grandfather) 100 times, mainly because we would always beg him to do...

My dad, John Sabin, was a dear friend of Jim. As a young child Liz Robbins was my babysitter (she was ‘Big E’ and I was ‘Little E’). Jim was my brother Bob’s Godfather. We called Jim Uncle Robbie. He was a regular guest in our home, and even as a kid I found him so warm and funny. His decades-long friendship and love for my dad was palpable to all who knew them. I enjoyed his company, looked forward to his visits, and learned a lot about enduring friendship from beloved Uncle Robbie.

With shipmates once again.---rs

When I think of Jim the phrase , Wild and crazy guy come to mind! He was always friendly and always happy especially when holding his vodka rocks with a twist. He was definitely on my favorites list as a patron and friend at the Dockside. People like Jim made my job fun. Rest In Peace Jimmy . My condolences to the family.

Jim will forever have a special place in the hearts of the Lacey clan. My parents Hugh and Rosemary Lacey loved Jim and he was one of a close knit group that gathered in our side yard multiple times each week in the summer and fall on Periander St. Jim’s sense of humor is the stuff of legend and he kept everyone in stitches. As a young kid Jim always had time to chat with me whenever he came by the house. Honestly I think my sense of humor is the result of knowing Jim. I will miss him but...
