I did not know Mr. Robie, but having just read the attached article above, I am certain he will be missed by many people. He sounds like a wonderful person.
I hope the friends and family will find some condolences in the fact that Mr. Robie was experiencing beauty and serenity by scuba diving and enjoying nature.
msvermell10 - thank you for the article. What a wonderful thing to be sharing with your son. I am terribly sorry that it ended the way it did. He truly sounds like a very great man! Prayers for him and to the family.
