Robbie was a tremendous human being and will be greatly missed. He had a positive attitude towards life and was extremely giving and caring of others. Robbie had a “can-do” attitude and gave everything he did 100%. Robbie and I served on a BSA Wood Badge course together and I could always count on him. It was always enjoyable to listen to Robbie talk about his passions in life: Nora, Katie and Tyler, being a Scoutmaster in Troop 222, archery, restoring a military car, and photography. He made the world a better place. Nora, thanks for sharing Robbie with all of us.
