Robbie was a great man to work with, he was the fun to work with being a dispatcher, he was good at his job! Thoughts and prayers for your family! Really to hate to hear this news about Robbie!
So sorry to hear about Robbie, I first meet Robbie when he came into our office, always a bright smile on his face, he always took the time to chat and laugh. He truly was a sweet man, so caring and kind. Often he would stop by with his mother’s hearing aids and you could tell how much he adored her. He will be greatly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
