Robby was like a ray of sunshine, and he will be missed. We became friends when we both rode the BATA bus. Robby had a strong and inspiring sense of purpose. He always waited enthusiastically for the bus. He was eager to tell me about celebrations he had attended with his loving family. He could relay to me every item of food that was served, and expressed disappointment if there was no Jello. He was so proud to have his job. It was truly a joy to know him. He made the world a better...
