Robbie was a graduate of Lucas High School class of 1953. He was very athletic and played basketball and baseball while in school. Robbie retired from General Motors after 50 years. He was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army. After enlistment, he played football, baseball and basketball while serving in Paris, France. Robbie went on to play semi-pro football for the Clear Fork Wheels in the early 70's. He was an avid sports fan of the Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns and Ohio State Buckeyes. Robbie enjoyed hunting, fishing and working on the family farm known as Locshallow Farms.
