A Very Sad Day

I awoke to a very sad phone call. My dear friend Robin Baird passed away this morning. My heart goes out to Annette and her family especially to my sweet niece Emily. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Robin was just too good of a person to live on this earth. He did so very much for people in this community. I worked for Robin for 7 years off and on at his fast food drive inn and he became such a mentor for me. I watched him always feed the missionaries free, I saw him give out tons and tons of free food to people as they came to the drive inn. If someone's order was wrong Robin would disappear for awhile because he would be taking free food to that person's place and apologizing. I remember the huge fire out west of Grantsville and how him and I worked tirelessly to try and feed all those firefighters that day and yes he did it without charging any of them a penny. I watched him as he shared the gospel with one of our co workers and remember the day that we was able to go to her baptism and how excited he was. I watched his love for Annette grow stronger and stronger each day and his happiness grew with each day he was with her. She was the best thing that ever happened to Robin. Then I listened at work as he lovingly talked about his children. I watched him support all the athletic programs at Grantsville High and his famous wall where he posted the pics and newspaper clippings for all to see. He gave so much of himself to this community that it would be too numerous to say all in one post. So with that, I will miss you dearly Robin you are the Greatest!! This community is feeling a great loss this day.
