To the family of Dorothy and Bud Robohm,
We share your loss of these two wonderful healers and human beings. Your father delivered our last four children and your mother cared for all ten of the Cahill offspring for years when we lived in Cutchogue. We have often thought back on their kindness and concern for all of us. I first met Bud when he gave a talk at Custer Institute in Southold and as a result we elected him to be Maureen's obstetrician. One of the most memorable occasions was when the our (then) eight children, ages nine through 6 months, were all down with chickenpox. Your mother sent Bud right to our house where he checked them all and left stern instructions, as you might well believe. If ever two people deserved to be reunited in heaven it is Bud and Dorothy.
With fond regards,

Don and Maureen Cahill
