Bob Robbins (Harrison Ivan Robbins), Port Huron Township, 78, passed away on Apr 1, 2012. He was born in Detroit, MI on May 4, 1933. Bob married the love of his life, Joyce, on Dec 6, 1952. Joyce passed away on Nov 17, 2009, but now Joyce and Bob have been happily reunited and are looking over all of us form above. Bob was a hard working, dedicated family man with an unmatched drive for success. He spent his life providing for his family, making those around him laugh, and taking care of those in need. Bob was the type of man that you could count on if you ever had a problem or just needed someone to talk to. Bob spent many years working as an Engineer for Chrysler during the day, and at night he was an avid member of the Elks Lodge #343 in Port Huron. He enjoyed many past times which included golf, boxing, camping, gardening, painting, and drinking a nice Manhattan poured from a generous bartender with his best friend John.
Bob was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He is survived by his children, Jack Robbins (Sharon), Deborah Badger (John), Rob Robbins, Rick Robbins (Joyce), Ann Parmann (Ron), Wayne Robbins (Melissa); 10 grandchildren, Jennifer Robinson, Renee Dueweke, Dawn Higgins, Heather Stein, Amy Long, Britni Robbins, Shannon Robbins, Nathan Parmann, Nicole Parmann, and Hunter Robbins; and 10 great grandchildren. Bob is preceded in death by his wife, Joyce, and grandson, Chad Robbins. We all love you pops, say “HI” to mom for us! We miss you both dearly!
