Robin worked 33 years as a journeyman tree trimmer and was a past member of IBEW local 17. He was often called to work long days in weather emergency situations in Michigan and elsewhere. Robin loved lake living, particularly boating with his wife and friends and enjoying the beauty of the lakes. He loved and enjoyed his children and was able to take a last trip to California to visit his daughter Stephanie and celebrate Thanksgiving together. He was an avid music lover, playing in a band when he was younger, and he owned an impressive music collection.

Robin has donated his body to The University of Michigan Medical School in hopes that future students will eventually develop better treatments and cures for cancer.
