My sincere condolences to the Family of Rob Roblin. As a viewer of WBALTV in Pocomoke City Maryland, I watched Mr. Roblin on his various reports for the news, and can't forget the Polar Bear Plunge. He was a true Go getter and achiever. He will be missed. Rest in peace.

With Sympathy,
Ms. Sheila Palmer

This message is for Frank. I worked with Frank for a bit in the City school system and, not being from around Baltimore, didn´t even really know Rob Roblin. But, I can say with certainty that he must have been a great man because he raised a great son. I am sending my best to Frank and the entire family.

Hi,

I only knew Rob through the television. He brought something very special to his news casts. They were always interesting and fun to watch. No matter what he was doing, even the storm stories, he made you stop and tune in. I missed him when he retired and expected at some point he would maybe come back for an encore. I know he will be missed by many. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to the entire Roblin family. Rob was not only a great friend, former colleague and trusted confidant for more than 47-years, he was also like a big brother to me. Like many, so many fond memories of being in his presence. His passing is not only a great loss to those who knew and loved him, but also all of Baltimore. I love you Brother and will carry your memory with me forever. Stan Stovall
