We are very sad to learn of Robbie's passing. He was a very kind man who was never to busy to stop and chat. We lived next door to him for 6 years and always enjoyed seeing him in his garage lifting weights.

I am sorry to read of Robbie's passing. We worked together at the terminal and he was a good Marine. The world is a better place because of him and he will be missed. May God bless you all.

Robbie will be fondly remembered by his VIT family. He was a hard worker. I work with him for years in the Rail Division.

Robbie was our neighbor. Can not begin to tell you how sorry we are that we can't see and talk to him anymore. What a sweet, wonderful man, and a very good neighbor. I would see him at Sams so often, sitting there, having a cup of coffee (guessing it was coffee) and talking to so many people that would walk by. All I can say is heaven just got a little bit nicer, but those angels have no idea what they're in store for!! We will definitely miss him.

Mike & Mark I am so shocked & saddened to learn of the loss of your Dad. He was a very special person and will be missed by many. I did not realize he was not feeling well ,when we had dinner a few days ago he seem to be doing fine & he said he would call me but I had not heard from him. My thoughts and prayers are with you & your family. Prayers & thoughts your Dad's friend Linda High .
