Obituary of John Foster Robbins

 

John, born July 1, 1949 passed away July 11, 2019 surrounded by family.

He was predeceased by mother, Louise McGovern Robbins, father, Dr. Ronald Robbins

and sister, Annie Bowlby.  He is survived by children, Kelsey Robbins, John Phillip

Robbins and Sarah Rood Kollin, sister, Susan Kimbel (Roy), brother, Paul (Becky),

and brother-in-law, Dennis Bowlby.

 

John loved Bimbo’s spaghetti sauce, a good steak, photography, his flower garden,

his dog Rory, the feral cats he allowed to have numerous babies in his closet and

his children.

 

Special thanks to Paul, Mary, Naomi and Deena of Valley Edge Adult Family Home,

where John lived for the last seven months of his life.  You all were so good to him.

 

“Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.

If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all my prejudices

against my fellow man.  Give my sins to the devil and my soul to God.  If by chance

you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or a word to someone who needs you.”

 

Rest in peace, John
