Dear Aunty Viola,

As one of many cousins of Robin's, I believe we were all so very lucky to have been graced to have had him in our lives and to have known his very loving, generous and playful nature. He was the very best of all that is mankind. I recall "Blue" was his all time favorite name for his dogs. He could also play out a lasso to match any cowboy. I recall a visit once when we were all very young, Robin was upset with us girls for climbing trees, he didn't think girls should do that, as it wasn't safe....he was a very caring soul. He will be missed, but I know he is now free all the earthly restrictions he lived with and is now with many of our passed on relatives who loved him. He is now in the loving arms of our Lord. With all my love and memories.....your great niece Sandy (Walker) Major

Dear Viola,

My first memories of Robin go all the way back to my Kindergarten days (over 40 years ago) at John E. Fogarty school. Robin was going to school in the building across from mine.... I also think of the days at North Foster Church when it was just my son Neil, and Robin, sitting together in the front pew during Pastor Bedard's children's story on Sundays... Robin loved everybody and everybody loved him back. What a gift. I can tell you that, although I'm teary-eyed here, I am in awe--and honestly feel quite a bit of joy!--at the thought of what Robin is experiencing now...without the limitations of the body. I hope that thought brings comfort to you and that you continue to feel his presence, which surely remains with you also.

Neil and I are thinking of you with deepest sympathy.
