Pam, So terribly sorry to learn of the loss of Robbie. Although it's been years since I last saw him (mid 90's) I well remember his friendly, mischievous smile as a young lad, & his cheerful, pleasing personality as a young adult. & I was certainly surprised he remembeted me &/or my collection of early heavy metal albums last time we met. Oh Pammie so many losses of those near & dear to you over the years. My sincere condolences to you & Downer & rest of Robbie's family
Love, Dennis

Rob and I knew each other because our families know each other. We were friendly, but never close.
When we were kids we were embarrassed a time or two when the adults would have us stand back to back to see who was getting taller the fastest being close in age, I guess the grown ups thought of this as entertainment.
At least once or twice we were roped into babysitting the younger children together. His cousins, Jessica, Amanda, and Rebecca and his little brother Daniel. I recall that little Daniel had a nightmare and woke up and Rob was so calm and sweet with him. He told him to go back to sleep and that he would kick that monsters butt for him. And Daniel went back to sleep knowing that his big brother had his back and he had nothing to fear.
The short version is that Rob loved 5 things then, and as I have read what others have written about him, those 5 things remained prevalent in his life. Skate boarding, video games, music, art, and above all, family.
It is as if early in life someone slipped him the truth that the secret of life is to focus on what you love, and you will always have more of those things in your life.
Rob had a beautiful, kind, loving spirit. The world in certainly better because of the time he was here.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. He was way to young to be gone from this world so soon. May he always live on in the heart and minds of all that he touched in his life.

Rob was a bit of miracle. He was a shy boy who became a good man against all odds. He loved his people and they loved him back fiercely. He is missed fiercely.

My thoughts and condolences to you and your family Pam. My heart goes out to you. The first time I met Robbie he was a sweet, little boy sitting quietly on his Dad's lap, He was such a special little boy and grew into a fine man. May he rest in peace
