Condolences to all his family. He had a heart and a will stronger than anyone I´ve ever known. Our time together in school and teaching at NC State were the happiest days of my life. The world seems diminished without him in it. I loved him.

Our hearts are heavy with sadness to know that Robbie is no longer with us. Growing up he was a fixture in our family always welcome horsing around with my brothers and Dad. He brought lots of memories into our life. He was there in sadness as well. We can never thank him for all he helped us with and we offered the same for Rob, we really loved him and we will miss him that much more. Joseph and Pattie Janus

Robbie, I´m certain you´re reading this. You were relentless, always chasing your dreams. You inspired us all, led by example, and were a cherished friend. I have just two words for you: huba, huba! You know precisely the meaning behind them.
To Alys, my heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family.

I´m sorry Alys and family. Cheered for your awesome hubby many years ago. Great guy. I know it´s been hard to see him go through illness. Hard on you, also. Praying for strength for you and family, Alys
