Robby was fun loving, caring and helpful. His parents were very influential in his childhood, encouraging him in sports. Robby's love of sports first began in T-ball at the age of 5 with the Waldorf Pumpers. And he found early on that he felt as if he was one with the mound. Robby's baseball dreams were dashed because of a shoulder injury. After high school Robby started working in the grocery industry. Where he recently had moved on to Harris Teeter as the Dairy Manager. When Robby wasn't found in the dairy isle he could be found on four wheelers in the woods, watching football, hanging with family and friends in the pool or maybe even shooting pumpkins for target practice.
