Thoughts are with you during this period.
Robin was a great guy and I enjoyed his company immensely at touch and rugby etc.

So sorry to hear of Robin's passing. Having worked and socialise with Robin in Picton and Chch, I found him to be a truly nice guy. Honest and supportive with a real sense of humor. He loved his family and I believe he was a great family man to be admired. He will be missed.
