Robbie enjoyed flying and had his pilots license in his younger years.

They were inseperable and she was by his side until the very end.

To Robbie's family & especially brother Gary:

I knew Robbie for 20 years when I worked for R&F Coal Company in Cadiz. Robbie always friendly and eager to help get us mining parts we needed. I am originally from Pittsburgh and shared a passion for the Steelers with Robbie. I am very sorry for your loss. God Bless Robbie R.I.P.
