Mr. Robbins was my pastor (Dighton Community Church, Dighton, MA) when I was a little girl, and was the father of my lifelong best friend, Hope. In those roles he had a tremendous impact on my life, and I will never forget him. May he rest in peace. My thoughts, prayers & love are with Hope, Trudy, & Robbie, my childhood friends. May God's grace keep you in your time of grief, and may you be comforted by the many good memories of your dad and the bonds you share as his children.
