I knew Robbie. He worked on the South Workfloor. He was a nice person. I enjoyed working with him. Sorry about his death. I have good memories of him. He was a caring person and he always made jokes. He had a good sense of humor. He worked very hard. He enjoyed working on the South floor with us. He was liked by his peers. Every time I saw him and said hi how are you, he would say hi Janet! May God be with you always. From Janet Kandel on the South Floor.
