Robin Dropkin

Still think of you frequently my biking buddy. Patty

Miss you Robin, my Biking friend !! Patty

I met Robin three times-in NYC when Steve Englebright was honored, in Albany for the start of the inaugural Hudson River Ride and again in Albany boarding the bus to Buffalo, starting point for the Erie Canal Ride. In each encounter I felt her warmth, joy and tangible caring for me and others showing up and supporting her passion for parks.

I recently learned of Robin's passing and send my condolences to her family. She certainly made an impact in her long career. I knew Robin mostly through our biking adventures that continued for ten years. A group of four women each year biked for four or five days carrying our gear and staying in BnBs, etc. Robin was always enthusiastic about our trips and planned some of them. We biked in NY, RI, MD, PA, and Canada and the memories are to be cherished.

So sorry to hear about Robin´s passing but at least she is not in pain anymore. We had so many bike adventures together, I miss my friend !! Patty Gelsey

I am just now learning of Robin's passing, and I want to express my sincerest condolences to her family and friends. Robin was a true champion for open spaces throughout New York State and one of the kindest people I ever encountered. Her loss is deeply felt.

You will be missed, and I´ll think about you when I´m on the EST and other trails that you helped make possible.

It has been a long time since we worked together, but I will always remember her wonderful laugh, positive outlook and love of family and cold pasta. I will think of her and thank her when hiking the trails. Love to Chip and family.

May Robin´s memory be a Blessing for her family, friends and fellow environmentalist colleagues. I certainly hope that a hiking trail with a respite bench can be named and installed in her honor to merit her 30 years of service to NY State Parks . A life ended too quickly by disease. In my mind I see her her sparkly eyes and smiling face while walking the halls of Teaneck High.
