Robert Atkins

Coach Atkins was very influential in my life. His investment and faith in me as a 19 year old player helped shape me for the rest of my life. I learned more about baseball from him than any other coach I had and he was responsible for the scholarship I received to play Division I baseball. I will always remember him and his competitive nature and desire to see young baseball players get the most out of their ability. I will be praying for the family that the peace of God which passes all...

Great English teacher (helped get me through RU), great football coach (led by example) and a great role model. He added value to so many lives ... a life well lived.

Great coach and class guy all around. Impacted my life in a very positive way. Loved the way he would bark my given name (Francis) when we were on the practice field. Amicable and kind when I would run into him at Walled Lake HS football games.
