Mrs. Doris,
I was so sorry to hear of Mr Robbins Passing away. He was such a wonderful man and I admired him and you for the sustaining love of your son Randy. When you were unable to check on Randy Mr. Robbins still went to check on him. He was so friendly, speaking to all the staff and residents and any visitor he saw. He was an awesome Husband and Father and I know you are heartbroken. My prayer is that God will help you through this and Randy. I will be praying for you and Randy .Much love, Gail Jones

My thoughts and prayers are with the Robbins family at the lost of a love one. I have many memories over 33 years that I will never forget with Rigby Electric with Jimmy and George that i will aways cherish.
They were always a friend and a mentor to me.

As was noted, Jimmy always treated his customers as a close friend.  I know having done business with him off and on for over 39 years.  He will certainly be missed.
