Not sure what to say?

When I began theater life at Pantages in 1989, Rob had just spent 10 years with Cats, oh the stories! We laughed for months at the incredible stories, even as we began anew, building new ones during his next 10 years with Phantom. Always ready to help, Rob guided a great many of us through our early theatre experiences, & yes, we had a wonderful party in that special backyard. I personally owe a great debt of gratitude to my good friend & mentor, the world is a poorer place today.... my...

I am so very shocked and sorry to learn of Robbie’s sad passing. I have the fondest of memories of Robbie during our CATS days together. What a gem of a guy.

We always had so many laughs together! Robbie was not only excellent...

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Marion and Rob for many years as my wife is a friend of Marion and Rob. He got me my first call with IA 58 back in 1992. I know he was very proud of their daughter Megan and her achievements.

Thinking of you Marion and Megan during this hard time. Really sorry to hear that about Rob. He will be deeply missed.
Love Laurie and Marty

Our sincere condolences to hear of Rob’s passing to you Marion and Megan. Rob taught me how to focus at the Bayview Theatre in the early apprenticeship days. A lighting genius.

He was our next door neighbour on Clifford Court.
I remember playing many games of pick up ice
hockey in his backyard. Sorry that he is gone.

Marion, although we did not remain
in touch I remember you fondly. A gentle young woman who even as a teenager loved Robbie Burns.
I am sorry for your loss.
Sincerely, Bonnie Lindsay
