I was so sad and shocked to hear of Dr. Art passing. I worked for Dr. Art way back when Dr. Milton was with him. I truly will always miss them both. Dr. Art was a great boss and a beautiful person.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Robbins passing. He has been my dentist for over 20 years. His dedication and compassion for his work always came across in his wonderful "chairside" manner. He actually made going to the dentist something to look forward to because of his wonderful personality. It was so nice to talk to him each visit. He will be missed by me, and a lot of others I am sure. Rest in peace Dr. Robbins.

I was so sorry to hear about Dr Robbins' passing. I had worked for him in the past, and I will always remember the kindness he showed to everyone around him. He truely was a great, and caring man. He had a wonderful presence about him, and I will miss his laughter. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Art, going to your office was as much a visit to a friend as it was an appointment with the dentist. You so clearly cared about your patients as if they were part of your family. And you should know that you were as good a dentist as you were a person -- when I lived outside Colorado for a few years, the dentist I saw told me that someone had done some beautiful work. Thank you, and I miss you.

At the suggestion of colleagues at the Rocky Mountain News, I started going to Dr. Robbins in 1981 when I moved to Denver. He was a wonderful dentist and a wonderful person - always so warm and caring. Over the years, he also came to count my husband, Blair Johnson, and our children, Jaime and Reed, among his patients and friends. Our sympathy to his family and friends. He will be missed greatly.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Art's passing. He was such an important part of a wonderful time in my life, and his influence enhanced the lives of all those he touched. All my memories of him are happy. Truly he was a good man.

Although I only knew Art for two years, he was a dear friend. I will miss him and pray the Lord's peace and comfort to his sons and friends. In Jan 2007 I lost my youngest son and Art allowed me to talk about my grief many times--one day I sat on the bench outside his office and cried--all he said, was "It's OK, you deserve to cry". He loved to tell stories about his little dog and always thought my Dobe disadvantaged by not going to doggie day care. I know each of you will treasure your precious memories and carry on his gentle spirit in your daily lives. If I could I would erase your sorrow; just know that you deserve to cry.
