Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I worked with Robin for many years as an assembly mechanic before he went into tooling at Boeing. I remember the times my wife and I spent with him and his wife going places in his black van. As we cross through the many changes and challenges that life takes us through we realize what is truly important. True relationships with Friends,Family, and God cannot be purchased, Please don’t take it for granted. Robin and I have been corresponding via email for the past several years. He was always inviting my wife and I to come down and I always said ‘someday’….it will now never come. Please everyone, don’t wait until it is too late to spend time with God, friends and family members. I have many good memories of Robin and will regret not going see him when there was time. He was a good friend and I will always remember him.
I was so sorry to hear about Robin\’s passing. I knew him when he was younger. My husband, Don Christy, was his mentor in an organization like Big Brothers. Robin was a nice guy and he will be missed. Don passed away in May so now they can be together again. – Jo Ann Christy
