He was known as Robbie or Robb to most of his friends and family. Robb was known for his quick wit and comedic nature. He could always make us laugh, that’s for sure!

He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed spending time at the lake.

Robb lived many places such as, Long Island, New York; Pacific Grove and Long Beach, California; Palm Bay, Florida; and Knoxville, Tennessee, but his home was in Beaumont, Texas. Robbie always had a smile and a hug for his loved ones. He will be greatly missed.
