For me, Robin was ever considerate, thoughtful, generous and supportive. Playing Chamber Music with him was wonderful- he was creative, inspiring and a great collaborator. I yearn to hear more of his jokes backstage at Davies Hall. He would bring me a perfect pear from Harry and David every year and he shared many Roz Chast books with me, as we both loved her.
I always wished that we could be closer but Robin was very private and I was happy to be as close as he was comfortable with. It’s so hard to get used to the idea that he’s not physically with us but my memories of him are with me forever.
Here is a photo from a 2015 birthday celebration of Gordon Getty at the Opera House. Robin was my date.
