Class of '76....we have lost our captain. Robin kept us together. So grateful for that. I was fortunate to have known Robin since 6th grade. What a character he was. At Rogers & Hillcrest, always goofin around. A character who grew to be a very caring person, always positive, easy to talk to, & very witty. He could always make me laugh. I was always amazed at his great attitude. He will be greatly missed by many. My heart goes out to all of you who knew him. Although I am so sad he's gone, I am happy for him. He is finally free. My thoughts & prayers to Doak and the family. See you later my friend. We will all have one great big Reunion someday. Karen Belvin Wardell
What a perfect description of our dear "Red" in this beautiful obit. Red and I were in homeroom together for the Franklin and Hillcrest years since our last names began with R. Always kind, alway hardworking when anyone would stop by the 7-11 on Hillcrest where he worked through high school. We reconnected many years after his accident and I was always blessed by his ever-present spirit of caring. He was a friend to all and an example to anyone lucky enough to share a conversation with him. I am grateful for his friendship and gratified to think of his ability to move effortlessly again on the other side.
I was saddened to see the passing of “Red” I have so many memories of Red and the Robbins family. I am thankful for having known Red and send my condolences to his brother Doak and the entire Robbins Family. Chris Gatjanis
I had the great honor of providing care for Rob for several years, and he became a very good friend. We spent many evenings conversing and joking about life and baseball. Rob was one of the most inspirational people I have ever known. He was positive, cheerful, and funny. He connected with many and maintained many friendships despite the physical and mobility limitations of his condition.
Rob's love for his family and his family's love for him was truly beautiful.
My prayers to you Doak especially and to Rob's family and friends.
All who knew Red loved him. He had such a loving, kind, caring, good heart. I will never forget his joyful and kind smile. I look forward to playing football with him and his dad, my Coach Robbins up in glory! This entire family has been such a blessing to me and my family. We will keep you in our prayers Doak. I know our Lord Jesus is helping you and will continue to comfort and strengthen you. We all will greatly miss Red until we hug his neck again in heaven. I will always praise Jesus for Red and his family...my dear family!
