From Connie Allum:

“I am sitting here trying to wrap my head around the events of the last few months. Robin was on cancer treatments for 7 months until a few weeks ago when he went into the hospital. He came home on hospice on Wednesday and went to be with the Lord tonight. He said it was a win-win, get to see Jesus or stay with us. We would have celebrated our 42nd anniversary next month. Thank you everyone for your prayers.”

Rota Rosaschi wrote: “...my brother Robin. He passed last night (12/15/24) after fighting cancer for several months. He loved playing Santa and did so for about 25 years, helping many children believe there really is a Santa! May he now rest in peace as we prepare for the Christmas season.“
