Hello Bob and Pat. The news just came to us this weekend. We are extremely saddened for your loss of a terrific young man. Mary and I remember him well and always enjoyed his amped up approach to life, God bless him. What a Handsome you adult he turned into from a cute little toe head. we loved him.

I am heartbroken to hear of Robbie's death, I was a childhood neighbor as well as the family babysitter. Robbie was the most adorable little boy with an amazing spirit. My thoughts are prayers are with you, Bob, Pat and Anne. I'm sorry the news is only reaching me now but I'm so glad that I could reach out to you all to let you know I'm thinking of you and Robbie.

I'm sorry for your loss he was a sweet heart. And he loved his daughter so much. he was one of the nicest guys I know. He will always be in my heart and thoughts.

I am sorry to hear about Robbie. My good childhood friend whom I share many special memories with. I can remember countless birthday celebrations and riding the bus to Kindergarten for the first time. We were so scared. I still have my favorite childhood book, "The Giving Tree", that was given to me by Robbie for my 5th birthday.. It became my all time favorite book.
Rob, Pat and Ann, I am truly sorry for your loss. Robbie will remain in my heart forever.
