Cheryl Please except my deepest sympathy on your lose of your son Robbie. I lost my son on May 7th 1987 that's when I decided to move to New Orleans. I have a son and two daughters now, my daughter Mary is fighting for her life right now she has had 5 mini strokes. I know how bad your heart hurts I'm right there with you....

I had the pleasure of working with Robbie for a few years at White Horse Village. From the time Robbie started at White Horse, residents, and staff would come to me with positive comments about how polite, kind, helpful, and respectful Robbie was.These comments continued through the years that Robbie worked with us.

Robbie came to us in the maintenance Dept., with good basic mechanical skills, and common sense. Robbie learned alot from all of the maintenance staff , in all of the trades that we perform. In his time with us he quickly became a good mechanic, and someone we could depend on.

We also have alot of fun, and practical joking in our department, while we work. Robbie was a big part in having some fun while working. I happened to be a good target for some of the jokes and antics that Robbie dished out, I got it alot.!!

I also got to know Robbie socially, as we went out with other staff and friends sometimes.

When Robbie met my fianc'ee, Deb, her first comment to me was "what a nice young man". This went on to when Robbie met our neighbors...all had positive comments about him. Robbie was helpful with various projects at our home, and in our neighborhood.

Robbie was a good man to know, and to call friend...he is..and will be greatly missed by many.

To Robbie's parents,..You did a good job of raising Robbie...and I know that starts at a very young age.

To Robbie's dad, Bob..you taught him well what a good man should be.

My sincere condolences to all of Robbie's family and friends, and a prayer that your sorrow now,..will turn to joy, and smiles, as you remember Robbie.

Sincerely, Tom H.

On September 20th, 2016 Heaven gained another Angel. Robbie, words can’t describe how deeply saddened I am knowing that you aren’t physically with us anymore. You were not only my cousin, but my protector, my brother, my best friend, and my all-time favorite person. Your stubbornness and determination, when it came to never giving up, truly inspired me. I looked up to you my entire life, even when you used to tease me. You were always the coolest cousin and I wanted to be just like you. As we both got older, we became much closer and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. We both went through really rough break-ups at the same time and I honestly don’t think I would have made it through if it wasn’t for you. You would call me a thousand times a day and yell at me when I didn’t check in with you. I still have those voicemail's. Just being able to come over whenever I needed to and talk with you about life made everything so much easier for me during that time. In May, when I got into my accident and broke my ribs and sternum on my way to your house, you were the only one I called. You wrapped me up in blankets and held me as I cried. And then the following day you came to see me and you got into an accident and fractured your ribs. It’s honestly crazy how life works. You always had my back no matter what. You were my shoulder to cry on whenever I was sad. You never doubted me and tried your best to steer me in the right direction. You always made it about me and not yourself, even though we were going through the same thing. Even when you got sick and knew that you probably didn’t have much longer, you still made it about me. You had so much love in your heart. The bracelet you gave me will forever stay on my wrist. Thank you for making my life much more enjoyable by filling my ears with your funny stories and roaring laughter. I will never forget the memories we have shared together. You truly were a special person. I love you forever, Robbie. Until we meet again. R.I.P.

I genuinely regret your loss. I hope that in due time your family receives God’s peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. God is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation. Rest assured that he cares for all his creatures and he would never bring us suffering. A soothing scripture I like is Psalm 34:18 which reads: “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” Thus, while you await the Paradise where no one will be sick and die, may you lean on Jehovah God to cope with your separation from beloved Robbie. —Psalm 37:29.

Oh Robbie,

I was on vacation last week and have come back to this shocking and sad news. I watched you grow up and mature to be a nice young man here at WHV. I thank you for ALWAYS greeting me in the hallways and Café with your smile and quiet spirit.

Mr. Higgins, Sue, and family-- please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

God can help you through this, just ask Him.

Be blessed, Kathy.

To my brother Robert,

You raised such a wonderful, kind and caring son. You should be proud of that.

He could not have had a better Dad. He was everything to you and you were everything to him. You were his role model and he emulated you.

I am so thankful with how he looked out for Alexis. He was always checking on her. He was so good to her that I could never express my gratitude enough to him. He was always there for her no matter what the circumstances.

I am so grateful that I was able to be a part of his life and share in so many wonderful memories from his childhood and his adulthood. I will cherish all of those memories forever.

Love, Carolyn

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Robbie's passing. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Im speechless. You were and always will be one of the few that stood by me through my worst, and my best the last 12 years. You were strong, kindhearted ( even though you would say otherwise), protective and completely stubborn. The last 3 years took a huge toll on you, no matter how many phone calls, and no matter how many cards or visits, your heart was hurting in more than one way. I will miss you terribly, I will miss your raspy voice, your big smirk, but most of all, I'll miss you picking on me and hollering through the phone for my kids to be quite so we could talk but in the same breath saying hi and talking to both the girls. Rest easy Robbie. I will always love you

Robert, Aunt Barb, Uncle Frank, Frank, Carolyn, Christopher and families....we are so saddened about Robbie's passing........may you find peace and strength in your loving memories.

Robbie was a good friend and man. I met him when I moved up from Texas and he was nothing but nice to me. To the family his memories will always be in our hearts and will carry on for a lifetime. I offer my condolences and hope to make it to the funeral.

We are so heartbroken and sorry for your loss of Robbie.Praying for Robbie, and his family. Robbie was always very kind, he will be missed.

Robbie,

You will be remembered from every Sunrise through every Sunset

Gone too Soon

I met you when you were just a little guy, hanging out with my nephew Jason. You were always a good kid and as you grew up you were always by Jason's side. I know his passing was tough for you and I know how you and Kevan became very close after that. You were taken way too soon, but now you are causing trouble with Jason once again. RIP Robbie until we meet again.
