From the day I met Robbie 23 years ago, I knew he was one of a kind. We became such good friends and I considered him my family along with his wife and children. I have not stopped thinking about Robbie every day. We have had sooo many memories together and I am torn apart he has gone. But I truly believe the Lord needed him as one of his angels. It has been an honor and privilege to have Robbie as my friend. I will never forget you or your family. Til the day we meet again, you're forever in my heart. I love you my Brother. God Speed.
