So sorry to hear of the passing of “little Robbie”. I remember when he was born and how happy and joyful he was as a child. My thoughts and prayers go out to his beautiful family who made all of the kids in the neighborhood feel safe and loved. I have so many good memories of swimming in the Coleman pool, catching fireflies at night, telling scary stories, playing tag… Robbie was sweet and a great brother to his siblings. He will surely be missed. The Phipps family sends its deepest regards.
