We are so sorry for your loss. In the early 1980s, my family lived around the corner from Robbie. He came over to our house often, he was always welcome, and had long talks with my mom and dad and myself. I don't know what he talked about with my mom and dad, but he talked to me about tv shows and wanting to have some high adventures in life. My younger sisters sometimes convinced him to play dolls with them on our front porch. Robbie didn't play dolls for very long but he was kind and obliging to my sisters' whims. If there was a good Disney movie on TV, he sometimes watched it with us in our living room. Robbie was always kind and wanted to be helpful. His gentle light will truly be missed in this world.

I am sorry for your loss. Robbie was one of a kind. He would come to talk and help out at the gas station when we owned it. He always had a story to tell and plans for his future. He had a kind heart and I enjoyed his company.
