My connection with Robbie was through Resthaven. My mother was across the hall from Robbie and I would often spend a few moments with him. I was aware of his great love for music. When a group of us entertain with line dancing at the resthomes we have a country music bear which the residents love to pass around. He was named after your Robbie and we always introduce the bear at each resthome as Robbie. I would like to attend the service on Friday and bring Robbie bear with me if that is ok. I will miss your Robbie.

So sorry to read of Robbie's passing. He really was cherished by Olive and Archie and his big sisters. I have a lovely memory of Robbie getting on a horse by hanging off the clothesline and dropping on, during one of our Sunday visits to Fassifern.
