I just learned about Robbie's passing today. Robbie and I lost touch over the past few years, as I lived overseas. Robbie was always a good friend, an outstanding motorcycle rider and the reasonable guy in our midst. I especially remember fondly a late spring motorcycle ride in the late 90s that ended up with us getting snowed in up at lake Tahoe. Fond memories. I miss you Robbie.

I just found out about Robbie. I met him while working at Sun and remained friends with him through our enthusiasm for motorcycles. We went on a number of motorcycle trips through Northern California and LA. I always looked forward to visiting him when I was SF .. a great guy. A lot of good memories, he will be missed.

I just found out Robbie passed away. Robbie bought the tire business off me in 2004, and he did the business proud. We maintained a great friendship afterwards, he even came down to Australia to visit me. Nicest of guys, honourable, amazing person. Im going to miss Robbie a lot, I was a lucky person to have known him. Riding his motorcycle in heaven now......

Robbie, you've been a pillar of our community and an all around great guy to hang out with, learn from, and grab a beer with. You will be missed, my friend. Enjoy the ride on the other side.

We were neighbours in Amsterdam in the 1990s, did a long road trip to Faro, Portugal and met up in San Francisco only this year. So sorry to hear of his passing.

I grew up with Robbie on Castle Heights before the family moved to the SFV. We played little league together at Rancho Park. So sad RIP.
