Cpt. Richard (Robby) M. Robbins

Captain Richard (Robby) M. Robbins of Statesboro, Georgia passed away Saturday, October 1, peacefully at home at the age of 85.

Born in New York City in 1937 to Bert G. and Helen Robbins, Robby went on to serve 23 years in the United States Air Force, including tours in Germany, Vietnam, and Thailand. After serving his country, he was employed by Georgia Southern University until he retired.

Robby graduated from Seton Hall Preparatory School, earned his bachelor’s degree from Georgia Southern University, and his master’s degree from the University of Utah.
Robby deeply loved his country, his wife, and his family. He is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, Inge Koeppel Robbins, daughter Maria Reth (Michael), and grandchildren Kristina McClure (Jennifer Purcell), Brigitta Tolnay (Brennan), and Michaela Reth, and several long term and cherished friends.

Robby is fondly remembered by his family and friends as gentle, loving, patient, and wise. He was the first to help you solve a problem, a sharp bridge and chess player (and coach to the grandchildren), and proud to serve his church and community however he could.
