Robert Dobbin

Robert Walter Dobbin, a remarkable figure who made a lasting impact on everyone he met, took his leave from this world on June 12, 2026, at the venerable age of 86. Born in Stockton, New York, on October 12, 1939, to parents Floyd and Edna Dobbin, Robert spent his formative years soaking up the vibrant culture and spirit of the city. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." This quote resonates with Robert's life, who, as a landlord, helped many find comfort and solace in a place they could call home.

Robert was a man of many passions. His love for coin collecting and gardening were not just hobbies, but also offered a window into his character. As a coin collector, he showed a deep appreciation for history and the stories each coin had to tell. His garden, on the other hand, was a testament to his ability to create beauty and life from the earth. He was a self-employed landlord, a profession that allowed him to connect with people from all walks of life. The purpose of life is not to be happy It is to be useful..

Robert was a widower, having lost his beloved wife years ago. He leaves behind his daughter, Diane Nelson, son-in-law, John III and Sister Sue Moore who will continue to honor his legacy. His parents, Floyd and Edna Dobbin, welcomed him into the world and have now been reunited with him in eternity. His life was one of purpose and he will be missed.
