So sorry for your loss. I have so many memories of Robbie when I was rowing up. The first time I ever rode on a motorcycle was with him. Then when we had a big snowstorm my dad hooked a rope to his car with a metal garbage can lid and my dad rode Robbie around. They were always doing crazy things. You will truly be missed.

Robbie was one of my best friends during childhood. From about the age of nine he was a constant presence at our home. My parents loved him and he was always welcome. He was the most athletic of us all and good at everything he did. I spent a large amount of time trying to keep him out of trouble or from getting hurt. His wonderful laugh was contagious and we missed him terribly when he wasn’t with us. I will forever remember and cherish the memories I have of him. Prayers for all his beautiful family.
