Robey was a really nice fellow and well-liked by those who knew him. We went through grade school, Sunday school, and high school together. He served in the US Army over in Viet Nam and, after returning home to his wife and 2 kids, he was diagnosed with leukemia. There was some talk at the time that exposure to agent orange while in Viet Nam may have been the cause. Robey was a devout Christian Scientist and refused medical treatments which might have saved his life. It was a sad situation. He was very sweet, shy, quiet, and smiled a lot.
Yes, I liked Robey too! He was salt of the earth good guy, a steadfast friend and classmate at Golf School and at Niles West. Seeing his picture brings back tender childhood memories.
