I am so sorry to hear of Robbie's death. We were the greatest buds in high school, the three paisanos, Robbie, Mark Dinovo and me, Brandy Fracasso. I saw him a few years at the Moose in Delaware. We just laughed and laughed about the days we spent together in school. I cannot imagine your pain. I will always remember him smiling and laughing. Your family is in my prayers.
