I wanted to come to the stand to speak on Robbie’s behalf but didn’t feel as though it was my place. Him and I weren’t ever really close but had a bond. He was my brother in law but never view him as such, he was a bother. I loved him and enjoyed his company. He was easy to talk too and always made a joke about everything to lighten the mood. I remember when him and I would watch motorcross and especially Ricky caramichel that was his favorite rider and it definitely rubbed off on me. I remember when I was growing up he would always give me crap and I always thought he didn’t like me but as I got older realized that’s how he showed his love. He introduced me to a lot of things that still have my interest till this day. If it wasn’t for him being a role model in my life I probably wouldn’t be the man I am today. I’m forever thankful and will miss him very much.
