Dear Joyce and Family. Sorry for your loss. I have been lucky enough since I was small to have known the Robbins Family. We grew up together. When I got older Gus and Joyce would take me along with them on their travels. He was a wonderful person and friend. You could always count on Gus. He was like the big brother I never had. You will be missed. Love to all.
