Bob Robbins

Bobby G. Robbins, 67, passed away Monday (September 15, 2014) at his home in Kirksville.

The son of Glen and Maxine (Kent) Robbins, he was born September 24, 1946 in Queen City, MO. He grew up in Rockford, IL and attended the Rockford schools.

Bob is survived by his mother, Maxine Schmitter and step father, Leon Schmitter; one son, Jeffrey Robbins and life partner, Lori; one daughter, Kelly Hines; three grandchildren, Emily Robbins, Cory Pinkston, and Justin Dunn; one brother, Jim Robbins; one sister, Lynn (Robbins) Oliver and husband James; two step sisters, Marla Elder and husband Ted and Lisa Pearson and husband Terry; and several nieces and nephews that loved him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his father, Glen Robbins in 1977 and one brother, David L. Robbins on September 3, 2014.

Bob enjoyed being retired and spending time with his dog, Mocha. He enjoyed watching football, and he was a life long Green Bay Packers fan. He liked spending time with his son, Jeff, as they were close.

In 1977 Bob and his best friend in life, Bruce Naffsigger took Jeff to Idaho on an unforgettable 5 day rafting trip down the Snake River. He had always wanted to return to Idaho and did finally in 2011. His final wish was to have his mortal remains brought to Idaho and scattered on a hillside close to his best friend, Bruce. His son Jeff will carry out his last wishes. He will be missed dearly by his family and friends.

Bob was cremated and a private family service will be held.
