What I’ll never forget his Robbie’s quirky sense of humor and his love for animals. He had such a kind heart and was a very good friend. I will miss him forever.
Love ya toons, say hi to mom and grandma for me. We will miss you, but know your at peace and in a better place.
You will be missed,prayers for the family Rest in Peace
So my favorite moment with you is when I say Robbie, I need to go to my throne and you would say right queen you go so let me just tell you I miss you already. We will miss you tomorrow. We love you. Our hearts are broken. you are so loved and so funny at times and sometimes so serious just know that you always be in our hearts.
Robbie you will be missed. You was not only co worker but a classmate. Your smile will be missed and never forget last talk about how old we was. Laughing about it being 20 year class reunion. I will miss you alot. I will see you on other side my friend. Gone way too soon
Robbie you will be missed. I know I haven’t worked or seen you in a long time but we always made work fun and never boring. You will be missed.
My sincere condolences to the Kidwell family. From whipping up delicious burgers at the old Fred’s Grill many years ago to being a reliable and knowledgeable resource for troubleshooting complex processes as of late, Robbie was always there to help, often stopping whatever he was doing to assist. He had a heart of gold and I always enjoyed his perfectly timed deadpan quips. The loss is great but he will be remembered by many. I am so very sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss Susie. I’m glad I was able to meet Robbie and see the sweet relationship you both shared firsthand. My heart breaks with you

Paul and me send our deepest sympathy. Robbie was such a sweet, kind, caring person, one you can be so proud of. Good thoughts of him everyday.
I am deeply saddened to hear of Robbie’s death. I really enjoyed seeing him almost every time I went to Meijer. Although we weren’t close, he always greeted me with a smile as I’d come up to him to say hello. I’m glad my daughter had the chance to meet him. He was such a kind soul. Rest in peace dear cousin. Give my dad a big hug from me.
