To Peter, Jeffery, Karen and family. So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Unfortunately we were unaware of your mom’s passing in January. Such a difficult time for you all. We still think of the fond memories of our times with you and your mom and dad when we were stationed on Bell Island, Nfld & Lab.

As a child, I met Cst Robbins in Gander when he helped me after my puppy died. Cst. Robbins was my neighbour and he came to my house and removed my puppy as my family was in grief. The professionalism, empathy & compassion of this RCMP Constable was a model for me and inspired me to join RCMP too. I always tried to display the same professionalism, compassion & empathy I learned from Cst. Robbins. This is a huge loss to the Robbins family and I offer my deepest condolences.

Dear Family
I had the pleasure of working with Preston early on at the PEI Correctional Centre. A great mentor to me. His lessons stayed with me throughout my career. Pleasant memories of social times with Preston and Winnie too!
You have every reason to be proud of your Mom and Dad.

Hi Peter, Jeff, Karen and families

Reading of your dad’s death in our newspaper was a real shocker. I knew that your dad had health problems but until talking to your Aunt Marion I didn’t realize how sick he was. It is a tremendous sorry to have lost both your parents within such a short time. My sincere sympathy.
We had so many great times when your mom and dad lived on the Island. Your dad’s distinctive laugh, stories and jokes will remain forever, as well as your mom’s pleasant and joyful attitude towards everything. Preston and Winnie were very special friends. Griever, as you must, but remember and cherish all the GOOD times.

Our Condolences to Jeff, Rhonda, Ben, Carly , Allyson and the other family members.
It is always difficult to loose a parent but to have both parents deceased so close together must be hard. May the special memories each of you have of Preston help ease the loss you feel at this time. We always enjoyed chats with Winnie and Preston. , what a sweet couple.

It has been a lifetime since I have seen Mr.Robbins but I remember him fondly. I have still never tried cod tongue but always loved his reaction when he offered it to me for dinner. I also remember a great afternoon helping him plant trees in your yard on Advana Ave when Karen wasn’t home but I was obviously looking to hang out with someone. He was very patient and kind. Love and hugs to you all, especially you Karen – from an old friend from a lifetime ago ( Angie Schnare , now Cassibo)

Thinking of family in this time of mourning for the passing of Uncle Preston.

Peter and family:

Our sincere condolences on the passing of your Father.

Our condolences to Jeff, Karen, Peter and families on the passing of your Dad. Your parents were great neighbours and we’ll always have fond memories of them.

Peter, Jeff, Karen and your families. We we so saddened to hear of your Father’s passing.
I remember him as a big man with a big, hearty laugh who always seemed joyful no matter what was going on. I also remember how proud he was to be a Mountie and how excited he was to show us his uniform when he first came home from training. At the same time I remember him laughing his head off when he put me up on Grandad’s bull’s back and led him around the yard, knowing full well how scared I was on that beast!
Our sincerest condolences. Terry, Doris, Jennifer, Chris and Jaya.

Elaine’s and my heartfelt sympathy to Peter, Jeff and Karen on your dad’s passing. Your mom and dad were always so kind and welcoming during our teen years and beyond! Our thoughts are with you and your families.

Peter, Jeff, Karen and families, I was so sorry to hear of Uncle Preston’s passing. I have such great memories of him and Aunt Winnie coming to our home on PEI for visits and cards games with my parents (Elwood and Marion). His laughter and story telling were we’re unforgetable. My condolences to you all.

Peter, Jeffrey, Karen and families, we are very saddened to learn that your Dad, whom I knew since a young girl, has passed away.
Please accept our sincere condolences and prayers that your memories sustain you through these difficult times.
Preston and Elwood were often at Helen and Hugh’s in earlier years. In later years we enjoyed many fun times with both your parents and Preston’s family . Sincerely, Brian and Sheila
