If you were meeting Robin for the first time, he would greet you with a smile, a handshake, an affirming nod, and chances are, you would walk away friends. So much so, that by the next time you saw him, you would get a cheery hello, that we lucky enough to be in Robin’s orbit, know so well. And if you were really lucky, he would give you one of his amazing hugs.

Robin was a force. He loved his life and the people in it. He had an insatiable thirst for adventure, and he threw himself into excelling and building a life based on grit, determination, dedication and love.
