Robbie, my family and I will miss you coming over and watching the Gators play and holiday gatherings. We watched many game together, and I hate the last one we watched together, the Gators came up short in the end, but like you said. “ they didn’t deserve to win the way they played “. I find comfort knowing that you are now in the presence of the Lord, reunited with your mother and sister. Till we see each other again my brother, GO GATORS

I will miss Robbie. I watched him grow and he was so loved by his mother and sister. Wilma was a constant friend in my adult life as was his Adams family. Robbie tried to help me with Aunt Madge on many occasions. He would come by my house and help me plan how to help her be safer in her determination to be independent. He was sweet, caring and kind. So thankful he is whole again!

My heart was so sad to see that you are gone . You are one of the sweetest People I have ever met . You always had a warm smile on your face and were such a “True” Gentleman. I will miss running into you at the Dollar General and our conversations . The world has lost some of its Light now that you are gone . Rest in peace my Sweet Friend .
