I know this message is very late, I miss Robbie so very much and was THRILLED when he appeared on Facebook, even though it was under another name, and posted pictures in our high school class reunion group. He played French horn in the high school band that my father directed, the three years we were there. I also enjoyed watching him in the Performance Group, which Walter Williamson and my Dad directed. I first knew Robbie was on Facebook when Lori Koenig added him (under another name) to our Terry Sanford high school reunion's group chat. I didn't know who "Eddie Garland" was so I went to his profile and finding nothing, scrolled down in his pictures. When I saw an old one of his son, his spitting image, I knew IMMEDIATELY and was SO glad! I hadn't heard anything about Robbie in years! Anyway, I enjoyed all his posts AND his family pictures and his pictures of New York City. I watched the Zoom Link of his service and still can't believe he's gone. I will miss him FOREVER and I'm glad he found his niche and started a family! They're all beautiful and talented!!

Rob has been a neighbor of mine for over 2 decades and all I can really say is that God received one of the kindest, loving, gentlest soul in creation.
My love & prayers to Trini, Kylie, & Harry.

I was very fortunate to know Robby in high school and to be cast alongside him in dramatic and musical performances. He was immensely talented--there was never any doubt that he would make a significant and wonderful contribution to our world. He was one of the most enthusiastically passionate, funny, and intelligent performers I ever had the chance to know--and he was a genuinely great guy to boot. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

I got to know Robert through social media and enjoyed our discussions. I sincerely hoped to lunch with him on my next trip to NYC because he was someone from the online world I wanted to meet and hang out with in the USA.
My condolences to the family and friends who had the privilege of knowing such an exceptionally kind, intelligent, and loving human being.

Robert was always a dear friend to me and we had long chats in the wee morning hours which was such a blessing to me with my severe health issues. We shared a deep love for weird and bizarre magic. He loved his family so much and was so proud of all the amazing things they did. Trini, I weep with you and I hope you find comfort and healing along with your kids.

Robby and I met in the 7th grade and were the best of friends for many years. We talked, we did shows together, we studied, we went to White Lake with Danny. I was able to introduce him to my family in the last few years and I got to know the lovely Trini and their beautiful kids: Kylie and Harry. Eating Mexican food with the family in NYC was a treat! Hardy and Austin and Savannah and I love you all very much and know that our hearts are with you and we are holding you all in the light.

Rob was an enthusiast--magic, his marriage, his children. I remember a wonderful dinner in Greenwich Village with Rob & Trini just after my Damaris and I returned from England that Rob arranged. We laughed and enjoyed the evening with Todd Robbins, who put a spoon up his nose to my wife's horror. Rob was delighted as only Rob could be. Trini, Kylie, know that Rob was very proud of you and shared your successes with his friends as only a devoted husband and father could. He will be deeply missed. He was very supportive of me when I lost my Damaris and reminded me to focus on the love, which defined us. It also defined him. Focus on the love.
Love to you both,
Brian "Professor BC" Corrigan.
