Born in Louisville, Kentucky, on September 16, 1958, he was a kind, hardworking, and selfless man whose quiet strength and warm smile touched everyone who knew him.
He is survived by his life partner Sandra Sherley; his son Corey Griffo; Curtis Sherley, who was like a son to him; and his siblings Kevin Griffo, David Griffo (Melanie), and Katie Allgeier (Todd). He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Mary Janet Griffo
A Trinity High School graduate, Robbie built a respected career with Lear, Ceva Logistics, and Manning Equipment. He was a man who showed up—at work, for his family, and for those who needed him. He loved fishing, weekends at the lake, working on cars, watching his UK Wildcats, and spending time with his dogs.
Robbie exceeded every prognosis with strength and grace, never losing his will to fight or his love for life. His legacy is one of quiet generosity, unwavering dedication, and deep love for his family.
