Edward Robbins Obituary

So sorry to hear of Eddy´s passing! He was a great guy and will be missed by many. We served together in the Marines, deployed together and for a bit he rented the apartment attached to my house in Richlands, NC.

By chance, I happened to come across Ed´s obituary. I´m so shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to all his loved ones. Ed and I flew helicopters together in HMH-461. We did a med cruise together in 1986 with HMM-264. Ed was like a brother to me. He was one of my closest friends. We kept in touch on occasion but not as often as we should´ve. Lots of fond memories of good times. We even traveled together in Europe while our ship, USS Guam, was docked in Naples, Italy for repairs. Rest easy Marine. Hopefully we´ll meet again one day and have another one of those fine bottles of wine.

We just found out that Ed had passed. Our deepest condolences. I met Ed when we both went to OCS/TBS/Flight school/FMF, beginning in January 1982. He was a warrior, scholar and patriot. A frontline defender of the freedoms we all enjoy each day. The world was a better place with him in it. Until Valhalla my brother, until Valhalla.

I met Eddy when he became a member of the Scott County Life Saving Crew. Even before he became a Marine, Eddy was squared away. He was part of a tight-knit group some of us fondly referred to as "The Duffield Wrecking Crew." It seemed whenever they were on duty, the wildest and most difficult crashes and other emergencies would come in, and this group would handle them all with ease and professionalism. They were a fun group. I am very shocked and saddened to hear of Eddy's passing. I did not receive the news until after the services. It heartens me to see that over 40 years later, the other members of the Duffield Wrecking Crew served Eddy as honorary pallbearers! My sympathies to all of the family and friends who will miss this hero.

Mrs. Betty, David, and family,
I want to send my sincere condolences to you all during this sad time of losing Eddie. Although we are no kin the Neeley Family considers you all as Family. We love you all!

Eddy was a good friend. Shocked so much at his passing. We spent time at Quantico during the same period in 1982. He rescued me on the interstate when my car broke down enroute to Quantico one weekend. I´m going to miss him greatly.

It was an honor to have served under your leadership Sir, Prayers of Comfort and peace to family and friends.

So sorry you was a fine man. Your are in God’s hands now.

Prayers for the Robbins Family

I flew for a number of years as Ed's flight paramedic and they were the best times of my life. I always felt secure and confidint of compleating the mission with Ed at the controls. I have missed him so, he was my favorite pilot for a number of resons. Smooth flying, my friend

He got his wings fly high.

Deepest sympathy to all the family.
So proud of Eddy's service record for our country.
Happy memories of visiting all the family in Duffield.
God Bless you all.

My deepest sympathy to his dear family. Eddie was a wonderful friend at RCHS. I can still see him back in the day.

I always enjoyed his smile, his friendliness, and his focus on what he needed to do with the tasks at hand. To the family, I will pray for your time of grieving. Eddie was a determined person--goal oriented and achievement driven while still loving and supporting his family.

Dear Debbie, Aunt Liz, Dave and family.

I am heartbroken. Forever I will cherish my memories of Eddy and of all of us. The laughter, the adventures, the joys, and the tears. He is among the best of men and Heaven is richer because he is there. Rest in peace dear Eddy. You are so loved. Lisa

Ed and I were very good friends. We went to the State Police Academy together. Rode home together on weekends. Flew Medflight II together. He would come to Virginia Beach and we would go to the restaurant, Dockside, and have the flounder sandwich. We talked all the time. I will miss him terribly.

Prayers for the Robbins family.

Betty, David, and family, I want to send sincere condolences to you during this sad time of losing Eddie. I know your hearts are broken. Eddie was one of the great ones!

Eddy, I will miss you greatly. You and Dave made my world better as a kid, and I'll never forget that. I'll also do my best to be as kind and as thoughtful with others as you were with me and my family. Rest in peace and eternal glory, brother.

Sweet family,
Our community has lost a wonderful person and we are very saddened by this. Growing up in Pattonsville, everyone knew what a wonderful family the Robbins were and We were very fortunate to have them as neighbors. I pray that God will surround you with comfort and peace for now and the days ahead.
Much love,
Jason, CarrieAnn & Isaac Rhoton

Eddie was a co-worker with the


Va. State Police. He became a true friend which I admired as a Chrisitian man and father. I will miss him dearly.
