Richard Levy Robin

Richard lived a full life devoted to his family, his profession, and the pursuits he loved. A proud Louisianan, dedicated physician, and enthusiastic LSU fan, he built a life rich in family connections, professional accomplishments, and cherished pastimes.

Richard attended Jeanerette High School and Louisiana State University, where he served as president of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity, before attending the LSU School of Medicine. He went on to practice medicine for nearly 50 years, including serving as Chief of Staff at Baton Rouge General Hospital. His long career reflected a lasting commitment to his profession and the people he served.

Outside of medicine, Richard was an avid LSU fan and lifelong fisherman. After moving to Virginia to be closer to his children, he missed both the excitement of LSU football games and fishing in south Louisiana.

Richard is survived by his children, Lee Robin Heath (Greg), Elizabeth Blackwell Carroll (Jeremy), Laura Blackwell Bain (Preston), and Richard Conlin Robin (Erin); his grandchildren, Sarah Cadwell (Mike), Emily Heath, Lauren Heath, Catherine Carroll, Elise Bain, Connor Bain, and Elliot Robin; his great-grandchildren, Heath and Hudson Cadwell; and his brother, Jay Robin.

He was preceded in death by his wife Jo Ann Helveston Robin, with whom he shared 10 years of marriage, his wife Jan Conlin Robin, with whom he shared 20 years of marriage, and by his parents, Jules Bertram and Yettye Robin.

A private burial for family will be held at Roselawn Cemetery, followed by a memorial gathering for friends to be announced at a later time. Instead of flowers, consider a memorial donation to one of the causes he supported, the Coastal Conservation Association or MD Anderson Cancer Center.
