Today I lost a true friend..... An upstanding and outstanding Gentleman.
A loving Husband , Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather. A man who was an accomplished Artist, a fine carpenter and a railroad modeler of out standing ability, a Teacher who was happy to share his knowledge. It was a priviledge to have known him.
It amazes me that as one jouneys through life ,if you are lucky, you meet people who make a your life so much richer. Robin was one those .
Robin was born in South Africa ,lived near and went to the same school as my wife Wendy.
Robin came to Canada to join the Canadian Airforce to obtain Pilot Training and went on to become a Canadian citizen.
When my Daughter and her husband decide to immigrate to Canada. a friend gave her Letty's e-mail address and so started a cyber friendship that has endured.
Robin and Letty then became surrogate parents to them , hosting them until they found jobs and were able to purchase a house, I am glad that Robin was able recently to attend the ceremony when they became Canadian citizens
Wendy and I will forevery be in their dept.
Rest in peace Robin and may Gods Blessing be upon you,
