I was heartbroken when I heard of Robbie's passing. My heart goes out to Karen, Tammy and Nicole. I remember him calling my John half fat half muscular guy because he couldn't remember his name. My sincere condolences to all of the family. Your camping friend Dottie

Life is funny sometimes.
Life is cruel sometimes.
Robbie lived them both and he lived them to the fullest.
He enjoyed and loved his family as he did life itself.
He left us too soon and will not be forgotten.
Whenever you think of him, he is thinking of you as he will always be with us.
Rest in piece my friend.
