Robyn Taidy Chew-Gibbs

I´m sitting on Robyn´s bench in Spring Lake, so I decided to look her up. She sounds like an amazing person. Thanks for putting this bench here for her.

Dear Joe and AJ: I learned of Robyn's passing when I was trying to notify her of the passing of Jordan Safine just 5 days prior to her death. My heart is broken. Robyn, Jordan and I worked at Strawberry Canyon. You may remember a wonderful evening we all spent at your home. While I have not seen Robyn in many years, her warmth and wisdom still fill my heart. My deepest sympathies.

I met Robyn at Cal grad school in 1978. Her last name was Dicker per her first husband. We became running partners that led to Robyn winning the first and only Livermore Marathon in 1981. I have a scrapbook picture from front page of Livermore newspaper crossing the finish line hand in hand over our heads. I last saw Robyn in 1988 when I moved to San Diego. A great lady!!!! My condolences to her family and friends. Marty

Joe and AJ, we were all blessed to have Robyn in our lives. She was fun. She was happy. She was an upper to many of us. She was brave and she was honest. I am so sorry for our loss. She was truly a special human being.

Sorry to hear of Robyn's passing. Such a fantastic person and is my honor to have known her.

Robyn is a beautiful soul who gave and taught so much to all those around her. I will forever remember her as one very exceptional human being. May your special memories of Robyn bring you peace.

We were 13 yo, taking French from Miss Ayers, I had a tough time pronuciating & she´d help me out, C´est si bon!, she´d say. I so remember that! Her soft voice was always encouraging. Then of all coincidences, she calls up my roommate, Michael Taam, like 17 years later, I answered´, there´s that soft voice asking for him! I"m thinking, no way! She came over to visit & blew me away! My past right in front of me, it was great! She was so awesome, I didn´t feel worthy of her kindness!

Robyn was a lovely and bright light during our 3 years as neighbors following the Tubbs Fire in which we lost everything. We grew closer and were looking forward to many more years as friends, which sadly was not in the stars. We will cherish her inspiring memory and wish Joe all the best going forward without his muse.
