In loving memory of David John Robins who sadly passed away on 22nd October 2022.
How do I say goodbye to the ONE who has been my life partner, best friend and soulmate since our teenage years. Well, I say it was a privilege to be with a man who, even though he had a poor childhood, became somebody who gave far more than he took from life. His happy-go-lucky nature was appreciated by all who knew him. When he joined any group, he gave of his best whether it was The Buffaloes, The Moose, the Royal British Legion or any friend in need and I am proud to have been by his side all these years. Although his death was a shock to us all he passed quickly without long suffering or disability which I know is how he would have wanted to go. REST IN PEACE MY DARLING. Margaret. XXX

I have known Dave for many years through the R.O.A.B (Buffs). During those years he was the friend you always wished for. Someone who you could depend on. It was because of Dave's help that I was able to obtain my 40 years unbroken service award something I shall never forget. Typical Dave. Dave i will only one of many who will miss you greatly. Rest in pease. To Margaret and family I am sorry but words can not express what I want to say, but my thoughts and love go out to you.

David, you gave so much to Moose International over the years, your attitude of "What must be done, Can be Done" has created a Hall of which we all in Moose are Justifiably Proud, your interest in the appearance and upkeep of the Moosehall in Cranleigh drive has produced a hub in which the neighbourhood and not only the Moose can gather for the betterment of the locale.
Your input will be sorely missed.
Rest in Peace Dear friend.
