I just got done talking about you to a friend, and so many emotions passed through my brain in regards to trying to explain the Robin I remember. I was laughing pretty hard at one point, and crying seconds later. We didn’t chat a whole lot these last few years but the memories of you are burned into my brain and I will never forget you or your wonderful smile that was always plastered on your face. Until we meet again my friend. Sending your loved ones prayers and love during this hard time.
Robin was a warrior, patriot, friend and fellow Marine. I had both the honor of serving with him and knowing him. Simply put, he will be greatly missed, but by keeping him in our hearts and remembering him and all of the good times, he will continue. Semper Fi my friend, you left us too soon, and you will be missed.
What a good guy Robin was! Had the pleasure to get to know Robin over the last 7 years. One of the funniest and nicest guy’s I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Rest in Peace brother!
Robin will truly be missed by all of us at the Cajun Club. His smile made others smile and his energy was contagious. We will always remember what a wonderful person he was. We all send our thoughts and love to his family and friends. He may be gone but will never be forgotten.
Dear Robin, I had the honor of meeting with you over coffee. Discussions with you helped lead me into my decision to become a medic. I just heard the news today, as I’ve been away training with the USAF. I miss you, your presence, all that you stood & fought for. I will continue to hold the line, and hope to see you again one day. Until Valhalla my Brother, rest at ease.
Robin was absolutely one of a kind. We loved hearing his stories of all his recent and past adventures that he had taken since his last visit. He was always such a joyful person to talk with. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Love you. Thinking of you
