Will the Brotherhood be sending flowers or some type of gift to the family? I'd like to contribute if we are.

WTH!!! I just saw this. He will be greatly missed. I never had the chance to meet him but talked back and forth on the forum and he's helped me get my 4wd working. RIP my brother. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Sadly I never met him in person, but his enthusiasm for life came through loud & clear. Somewhere, there's a bit more laughter.

I am shocked by this news!! I just spoke to him on the phone 2 weeks ago tops and he was doing just fine, buying a house and move closer to his son not too far from Payson, AZ where he lived. He was in good spirits and I just can't believe it.

He has been a really good friend to me going back to when I first started to do my engine swap and build 2 years ago. He was always there when I had a question and helped me troubleshoot many problems I was having during the build throughout the past 2 years. He was extremely giving of his time and knowledge to me and the rest of us here on the forum. He was as sharp as a tack when it came to mechanical and electrical issues.

He was truly a friend and I miss him a lot already. It's just hard to believe.

RIP Robin.

Yeah, me too.......



A couple of weeks ago I sent him some photos of our truck yard and he responded that it looked like a harem for truck lovers. He always had those sorts of comments that would make me laugh. I know it's human nature to talk well of the departed even though they may not have been very exceptional but that isn't true with Robin. Those that knew him would agree he was far more than an average person.
I find myself still having trouble dealing with this sudden loss. It's difficult to understand Robin is no longer with us.

Robin had an amazing way of making anyone who met him, feel like they've been his friend for years.

This really sucks.

It is nice and somewhat healing to read all the individual stories and look at the photos. A picture is worth a thousand words and the photos show that he loved having a hobby that he could share with others. The really sad part is thinking of all the future FTE brothers and sisters that won't ever get to know him like we did.

Keep the stories coming....
Does anyone have a photo of Robin when he was handed his time slip at RRE that one year he set low ET? I bet he was shocked. I remember he was hoping to pull at least 400 hp on the dyno. He sure overshot that goal by a little bit....I bet he was grinning all day long.

i never got the pleasure of meeting or talking to robin as most of you had. so i would like to offer my condolence's to all of you that have posted on his behalf. i do know how it feels to lose a close friend. and i know just from reading his post, the man knew his stuff about our trucks. i always made it a point to read them, i knew i would learn a thing or two. god be with you all my brothers. r.i.p. robin
