So saddened by Robin's death. So many sweet memories from the early days at Bermudiana. Boating, playing poker for pennies (!), living over at the Bermudiana Beach Club in the apartment downstairs from Sue and Robin. Such a great guy. Much love and many condolences Sue, to you and Alex and Jessie who I haven't seen since they were very young.

Dear Sue and Family
I am utterly shocked by the news of Robin's untimely passing, I along with several of his "old" Bermudiana colleagues were only talking about him the other day as I shall be returning to Bermuda shortly for the first time since the early 70's for just a couple of days and had hoped to catch up with you both whilst there. I have so many happy memories of working with Robin, firstly on the reception desk and then as a management colleague. He was a true professsional and I am sure that he will be sadly missed by the whole of Bermuda and the hospitality industry.

Dear Sue and family,
How shocked and saddened to hear of Robin's sudden passing. I worked with Robin on the front desk in the 1960's and always had great respect for his demeanor and polished appearance. He was a great ambassador for Bermuda and the hospitality industry. He will I hope have a long legacy for his contributions.
