Mark ROBBIN Obituary





ROBBIN, Mark A. MD

It is with great sadness to make known that Mark A. Robbin, MD, 60, of Avon passed away at home on Saturday, (August 24, 2013) after a short illness. Mark is survived by his wife Carolyn, a son, Perry, and two step children, Suzanne and Alex Hoerle, sisters Barbara Silverman and Dana Robbin and brother Peter Robbin. Mark graduated from Tufts University and UCONN Medical School. He was a longtime primary care physician in private practice in Simsbury from 1986 to 2012 when he joined Hartford Healthcare Medical Group, Avon. He was a member of the Hartford Hospital Medical Staff since 1985 and had hospital appointments at St. Francis and John Dempsey Hospital. Among his appointments were medical director/industrial medicine at Ensign Bickford Industries, McLean Home, Avon Nursing Home, Brightview Nursing Home, Governor's House, Meadowbrook Nursing Home. Mark was truly dedicated to his patients and to the art and science of patient care. Mark was kind, loyal, engaging, generous and known for his quick wit, with a joke on hand to lighten moods. He spent long hours working to assure his patients' needs were met often at significant personal expense. Among his enjoyments were his love of golf, art, reading, travel and spending time with his wife, children and Labradoodle Willa and of course his daily crossword puzzle. He was predeceased by his parents Harriet (Cartin) and Joseph Robbin.
A private memorial will be held at the convenience of the family. Donations can be made in Mark's name to Hartford Hospital, ATTN: Fund Development, 80 Seymour Street, P.O. Box 5037, Hartford, CT 06102. To sign the guest book for Mark, please visit online at www.weinsteinmortuary.com/funerals.cfm

Still think of Mark often. He passed away the same day as my Mom. Thought of him 2 years ago when our high school had their (2 years delayed) 5Oth reunion. I had seen Mark at our 40th. I had sort of talked him into going. And he thanked me afterwards as he had a great time. Missed him this last go round. A wonderful friend.

Thinking about Mark recently because I had a hand in talking him into going to our 40th high school reunion and he thanked me afterwards because he had a great time. We just had our (twice delayed) 50th and I missed seeing him. Always a joke at the ready and a big laugh at my expense when I could never get to the end of one I was telling him because he already knew the punchline. Saw his name entering the venue along with 55 others from our class who are no longer with us. Mark and all the rest gone far too soon and still missed.

Still think about Mark - every time I hear a new joke that makes me laugh - which I know he'd already know the punchline to - and make me nuts. A good man. A good friend. Still missed.

I was very saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Dr. Mark Robbin. He was my primary care physician for over 20 years. At my annual physical he would always joke about how he was exactly 1 day older than me. During the exam we would discuss our latest golf exploits at the Farms or wherever. Over all those years he provided me with excellent medical care and was more than happy to recommend specialists in the area if required. He will be missed. My sincerest condolences to his family.

I was BLOWN AWAY to just learn of Dr. Robbin's passing. He had been my doctor since 1986 and I always felt in good hands under his care. I will not be able to find a replacement for his skill, good-humor and kindness. He could assess situations easily and provide the right pathway to cure. He was available and open to share his own life's experiences while treating mine. I am heartbroken at his passing, and have spent time praying for his family right now. I will miss him dearly.

October 8, 2013

I was completely overwhelmed with the passing of Dr. Robbin. I had been a patient since the mid 1980s' He was more than a physician. He was one of the most caring individuals that I ever met. We would talk golf, travel, among other things. I would bump into him at the local restaurants, pharmacies, etc. He truly was one of a kind. I will miss him..

I just learned about the passing of Dr Robbin, I have been out of the country for some while. Mark helped me as a patient of his for the last 14 years and he was a wonderful doctor. I have had multiple instances where Mark called me just to check up and i truely appreciated him. My best wished to his family, you probably know but there are allot of people that Mark helped and he was a gifted physician. Thank you Mark.

I was both shocked and saddened to learn of Dr. Robbins' passing yesterday. I have been a patient of his since the early '90s and had the privilege to also work with him during my time at Ensign-Bickford. I recently re-established care with him after returning to CT following 8 years away and found him to be the same warm, caring, genuine person to which I had grown accustomed. As shown by the many comments here, his professional care and warm demeanor were unparalleled and he will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all who were also touched by his gentle soul and especially his loved ones.

Both of my parents were long-time residents of Simsbury and long-time patients of Dr. Robbin - they both thought the world of him. He was a kind man, and I am very sad to learn of his passing. My thoughts to his family and his friends.

I was a new patient of Dr. Robbins but I quickly realized what a wonderful choice I had made. Mark was exceedingly warm and caring. His gentleness and intelligence were unmatched by any physician I have ever seen. I am so sorry for his families loss. Our community was richly served by Mark's genuine concern of others. He will be missed by all who knew him.

I am so saddened by the news. Dr. Robbin was an amazing doctor who went out of his way to help you. His prognosis was always accurate and I had 100% confidence in him. I will miss him dearly.

George Jones

September 19, 2013

Dr. Robbin was a wonderful human being and gifted doctor. He always remembered details about who I was as a person, and that meant a great deal to me. It was fun trying to come up with innovative - and completely improbable - maladies to discuss with him after the initial greeting of every office visit. This was fun because he had a great sense of humor - he would always play along.

He was very proud of his son - he came up in discussion occasionally because Dr. Robbin knew I enjoyed writing and often remarked with great pride that his son was a great writer.

I am going to miss him greatly; he was a wonderful physician and a man with a wonderful soul.

Michael Corbosiero

I was very sad to hear of Mark Robbins passing. He was my primary care Dr for 10 years. He was very dedicated to his patients and I listened very carefully to his advice. 7-8 years ago I was the President of Simsbury Light Opera. We were struggling and we sent out a thousand piece mailer asking for support and reminding the community that it was important to support non profits like ourselves or we may not be around in the future. We received only one check. It was from Mark with a nice note. I never told him that he was the only one.

September 7, 2013

We are so sorry to hear of Dr. Robbin's passing. We have been patients of his for several years. After my first visit to him I had mentioned to my mother that I had a new doctor. She inquired and was shocked to realized my new doctor was one of the "Robbins" she had cared for as kids in West Hartford when she came over to America from Scotland. My mom remembers the whole Robbin family fondly. It was she who contacted me to tell me of his passing. She and I are both saddened to hear the news. We wish the family happy memories to help them through this difficult time.

I was very sorry to hear of Mark's passing. He had been my doctor for almost 20 years, and even though I seldom saw him more than once a year, he always took a personal interest in my health and well being and that of my family too. As an example, he always remembered that my youngest son's name was also Mark Alan. I will miss my visits with Mark.

My heart is heavy with sadness. He was a wonderful man and physician.

September 1, 2013

My son Sam couldn't wait until he was old enough to be Dr. Robbins patient. They always had a special relationship. Whenever Sam would see him in the office he found a "treat" for him. For a long time ,even as Sam grew much older, if Dr. Robbin saw me in the office he would give me a treat for Sam. Mark was a wonderful diagnostician. He treated my family for many years. We will miss him so much. To his wife Carolyn:. I' m sure it goes without saying, he loved you more than life Itself.
Cindy Dubois

Carolyn, Perry, Suzanne, Alex,
I'm so sorry of Mark's passing. He was a gift to us all. Having to see Mark monthly over many, many years for a condition we grew a frienship far beyond doctor-patient. He spoke often of Perry and when Carloyn and kids came into his life he was so happy-his life was whole. He smiled and loved to talk about you all. He put on his "human" hat behind closed doors and that's how I learned what a special person he was beyond his skills as a doctor. You have wonderful thoughts to cherish and we can only pray for you and your family and the loving times you had will bring smiles to your faces. A greatful patient.

Literally minutes after posting an earlier entry - I knew I had to sign back in with an additional memory - in keeping with Mark's sense of humor - and knowing that even at so sad a time - he would appreciate a reminiscence in a humorous vein. I grew quite used to seeing Mark's e-mail correspondence - with his moniker of "MosheMD", which held a particular sweet spot for me as we attended Hebrew school together for many years - and in fact - shared a class with the legendary Pincus Berniker at Beth El. Mr. Berniker's trademark move was to provide a physical exclamation point to his students by grabbing your cheek between his fingers and giving it a tug. This went on frequently enough so that we were on the verge of looking like Dizzy Gillespie. Mark and I shared a hebrew name of "Moshe" (Mark and Michael)- so to differentiate between the two of us when it was our respective turn to be chastised - and cheek pulled - Mark became "Moshe Ha Gadol" - Moshe the Big, and I was "Moshe Ha Kattan" - Moshe the small (which explained why Mark went on to play basketball at Conard, while I ran track). This stuck with us from then on - to the point that whenever we posted e-mails to one another - we always signed off as HG (from Mark for "Ha Gadol") and I signed off as HK ("Ha Hattan"). Miss ya HG. HK.

Dear Carolyn, Perry, Barbara, Peter & Dana - I was shocked to learn of Mark's passing. We were e-mailing one another right up until days before he died. I asked about his recovery and how he was doing - and as always - he was forwarding me a joke. Appropriate - since I spent many years trying (in vain) to tell Mark a joke to which he didn't know the punchline. I never knew who was more exasperated - me at only being able to surprise him once every 200X or so - or him - at always knowing the payoff. I received an e-mail late on Monday night telling me that he was gone and informing me of his memorial service - only hours before I was getting on a plane to fly to Florida as my own mother had passed away the day after Mark. I am so sorry that I was not able to attend. I grew up with Mark - from way back when we were in the single digits agewise at Norfeldt Elementary - all the way through high school (where I chose him as my sergeant-at-arms at the Student Council meetings). I remember going to "fairs" at his house on Proctor - and winning a stuffed dog. Watching "Von Ryan's Express" as he was one of the first I knew to have Pay TV. Mark standing at my side when I returned to 7th grade after the sudden death of my own father when we were only twelve. So many memories. So many laughs. We lost touch for a time after college - then reconnected - and would try to get together for dinner at halfway spots between our homes - get caught up on our mutual lives and trade war stories. I met Carolyn at a dinner with just the three of us at Mark's "club". If I wasn't smiling at the anticipation of seeing Mark - I certainly was by the time we said our farewells. He had me and my three children to his home a few years ago for Hanukah - and even though it was totally unnecessary - made sure all my kids got little presents to take home. When I told my son about Mark's passing - he remembered that day - and even remembered Mark getting a gag gift of golf balls that exploded into powder when struck and putts that wouldn't roll in a straight line. Mark gave him a George W. Bush Jack-in-the-box. He was a very special guy. One of a kind. His friends and family knew it as well as his patients, for whom he was a generous and knowing caregiver throughout his medical career. I think I even talked him into attending our last Conard reunion, but he told me afterwards that he was glad he came. I'm really at a loss for how to express the depth of my emotions at this time and to deal with his death far too soon. I'm reminded of the words of novelist Richard Llewelyn - who wrote the novel "How Green Was My Valley" - about a family of Welsh coal miners - which was turned into a wonderful film. There is a cave in at the mine where the patriarch of the family, Gwillim Morgan, is one of those buried in the rubble deep below ground. And for the dangerous task of helping to find him, there is a call for volunteers. One of his friends - an ex-boxer who is losing his sight and virtually blind, steps forward without hesitation when those assembled are asked, "Who's for Gwillim Morgan?" and says, "I am. He's the blood of my heart". For Mark - "the blood of my heart" - you will be missed.

I was very sad to hear of Mark's passing. I send deepest condolences to the entire family. Mark and I were good friends in high school and our parents were also friends. Mark was truly a master at humor and quick wit and I remember sitting next to him in one of our classes and we would egg each other on in trying to crack up the rest of the class. He usually got the best laughs, but he certainly helped me hone my skills. We also shared the ambition to become Physicians, which we spoke about often. When Mark was at UConn Med school, I was working as a lab tech there waiting to hear if I would get into Med School on my second try at applying. I remember still how encouraging and warm he was.. he welcomed me to hang out with him and his fellow Med school students, and told me how sure he was I would get in and be a great doctor. We did stay in touch for quite a few years after I completed my residency, and I would see him when I came to West Hartford, but we have not been in touch for some time. I so was sorry to hear this news. It does not surprise me at all to read here how much his patients appreciated and loved him. He was not only a great physician but a great guy as well. He will be missed.

August 31, 2013

I just read that Mark passed away and am so very sad to hear this.
I look at his picture and the smile takes me back many years.
Though I have not Mark since high school, I easily remember his wonderful sense of humor coupled with a sharp intellect.
I was not aware that we shared the same profession-both of us internists/primary care physicians.
I am not surprised that his patients speak of his warmth and caring style and their confidence in his expertise.

My very sincere condolences to his family, friends and patients.

Mark had a wonderful ability to convey his concern and took an intellectual approach to his work, always ready to advise what current literature posited. I suspect I will not be so confident in a physician again. More importantly, I will miss his friendship.
I hope his family takes comfort from the fact that he positively impacted the lives of so many.

Dr. Robbin has been my physician since he first practiced in Simsbury. He has been kind and compassionate and the very best listener that I have ever known. He always made the time to ensure all your questions were answered. He also cared for my wife and two sons. We just heard of his death and all are in tears. We will pray for his family, and we thank God that he has been with us, to help us, for as many years as he was able. He will always be in my memory and prayers

Words are inadequate to express my deep sense of loss in Mark's passing. I have known him since he was 17 as a student and basketball player at Conard High School. Years later he became my doctor and gave me his extraordinary gift of medical care and personal friendship. A teacher always takes pride in the success of his students and how wonderful to have one take care of you. On each visit for over twenty years, we shared memories and stories that he relished. His devotion to his patients well being gave him such deserved respect as a doctor and caring person . God bless Mark and all who loved him.

Mark is my brother-in-law. He joined our family a few short years ago when he married my sister, Carolyn. From the first gathering Mark hosted for us (at which he grilled the greatest stuffed salmon)! Mark with his quick wit and his ability to turn a phrase won over all of our hearts. Thus began not only a marriage of Carolyn and Mark, but a family union of Mark & Perry into our fold. We envy those who had the gift of time with Mark. But, be assured we had a gift of quality time we shared with him. He became a trusted medical advisor, a gentle shoulder, and a humorous friend. We all looked on with joy at the deep love he showed my sister Carolyn. And we respected the tenderness and guidance he offered Suzy & Alex. And, oh the pride in his face when he spoke of Perry. We shared so much with Carolyn & Mark, the major holidays, family occasions, and even the run of the mill make your own pizza nights.. Mark was the kindest person. He treated everyone with so much respect, the 90 year old to the 5 month old. Since his illness, we constantly told Mark we were sending healing wishes and energy his way. It didn't seem fair to us that the healer should need healing. But, we had no idea the unfairness yet to befall us with his death. I received a lovely email Saturday in what I now realize was only hours before he would be gone. In it he thanked me for a very small favor I had done. But, he went on about his luck at having Carolyn to nurse him through this illness. “She is my loving angel sent from God” he wrote. “She's the love of my life”. “I love the kids so much too”. I take comfort knowing some of his last thoughts were of love for Carolyn, Perry, Suzy & Alex. So, now we have to adjust to remembering him. We will carry on. We will use his example of a happy heart, a loving look and a kind word. God speed Mark our relative & friend…we love you. Kathy & Bob

So saddened by the loss of an amazing, gentle soul. Will always fondly remember the time he rushed down to his office on a SUNDAY to confirm the need to be rushed to the hospital for appendicitus. Having been our families Dr for 25+ he became a wonderful family friend and I feel honored to have known him. I send my condolences to his family and friends. I hope he knew just how many lives he touched with his incredible kindness.

I am so deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. Robbin and wish to express my sincere condolences to his family. I've been a patient of Dr. Robbin's since he first opened his medical practice in the 1980's. He had a wonderful talent to diagnose and treat illnesses. When I was referred to a specialist, they would always comment on Dr. Robbin's thoroughness in ordering tests and his diagnostic accuracy. Over the years, Dr. Robbin and I developed a real understanding. I know that he cared, he always had an appointment available, he cared enough not to order a prescription for an unhealthy drug, cared enough to remind me to come and see him if my sickness returned, and cared enough to stay late when needed. He will be truly missed.

Betsy Mack

August 28, 2013

Dr. Robbin was our PCP for 20 years and what a wonderful doctor he was. Every word written about him in the obituary was the way he was. It was not at all unusual to receive a phone call around 8:30 or 9:00 p.m. (long after working hours) inquiring how one of us was doing. He certainly was a rarity and will be sorely missed. Our prayers and condolences go out to his family. Betsy Mack and Lew Noble

We are so deeply stunned and saddened to hear of Mark's passing - way too early, especially for the type of person and doctor he was. He was my dad's and stepmother's GP for more than 20 years, and mine for the past 12. We were always struck with his sincere care for his patients, for his incredible follow up no matter the hour or day, and for his incredible medical knowledge. Our deepest sympathy to his family, who he talked of with such love. He was one of a kind and will be greatly missed by many.

Dear Perry, Carolyn, Barb, Dana, Peter and family.
I am so sorry to hear of your tremendous loss. Mark was my first boss out of college and we worked side by side for nine years. His compassion, humor and knowledge were second to none. I know that the impact of your loss is being felt by many whom Mark truly cared for and who freely returned that affection.
May God's peace be with you all in your grieving.

We will truly miss him and have been blessed by him in the 20+ years we have gone to him. He was truly a great Dr. and cared about his patients. He was great with our son Eric who has disabilities.

I was a patient of Dr. Robbin for many years. He was one of the most caring,compassionate doctors I've ever known. He took a personal interest in his patients, always following up on his own time. He went above and beyond in many instances. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Mark was our family's primary care doctor and a wonderful, caring physician for over 25 years. As others have commented, Mark's personal kindness endeared him to us - we really cared about your dad/husband/brother and pray you'll know the comfort of God Himself for each of you during these days. Thank you for generously sharing him with us.

To The Family of Dr. Robbin
My heart is saddened today with hearing this news. I just visited with Mark in June at his new facility and he was his happy jokester of a doctor. He made everyone feel so special and made you feel not like a patient but like a close friend. I will miss all the talks we had, his amazing knowledge of medicine and how he could fix any ailment you had. He always talked about his kids and how great they all were and all the things they were doing. We lost, a great dad, and wonderful charming individual that made us all smile even in life's tough times. I was blessed to have him as my friend, and my doctor.

Carol, Perry, Suzy & Alex,
I, along with Anna & Timothy are so, so very sorry. There are no words to accurately express my sadness in Mark's passing. He was so loved by our family and Anna & Timothy adored their Uncle Mark SO much. Mark fit in to the family so easily, that's what was so wonderful about him. I/we will truly miss his wit and humor (even if I didn't always get his joke!) and I was so very happy when he looked at you, Carol, with the love and adoration that he had for you. He was never afraid to brag about what project you were working on and always shared what Perry, Suzy and Alex were doing at school or work. My heart will be heavy with sadness for a long, long time. He will be missed by so many. Always remember that the memories you shared will sustain you forever and that he'll be with you always. I'm here when you need me, 24/7. Love Always, Paula, Anna & Timothy

I am shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of such a wonderful man and physician. Besides being the PCP for my husband and myself, he was the doctor for my chronically ill mother. We have kept the letter he sent to us after she passed away and we will always treasure his kind words and encouragement.In a world where healthcare is often impersonal,he never hesitated to return
phone calls,report test results,etc.himself.He will be truly missed.Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dr. Robbin's family.
