Robert E. Robbins
PORT ALLEGANY- Robert E. Robbins, 87, of Two Mile Rd., passed away Tuesday (Apr. 2, 2019) in Sena Kean Manor, Smethport.
Born July 1, 1931, in Port Allegany, he was a son of Orlo and Ruth Sheppard Robbins. On Aug. 23, 1986, in Port Allegany, he married Doris M. Austin, who survives.
Robert was a graduate of the Port Allegany High School, class of 1948. He attended a business college for two years.
He had been employed with Blumenthal’s, of Olean, NY, and Milford Mem. Hospital, Delaware, both as an accountant. Most recently he was co-owner and manager with his family, of the former Robbin’s Nest Restaurant, Port Allegany, before his retirement.
Robert was a member of the United Methodist Church of Port Allegany, where he was church treasurer and choir director for several years. He was a member of St. Mary’s, Coudersport, Olean, and Delaware Barbershop quartets for 58 years. He enjoyed working with his hands as a carpenter and electrician, but most of all, he enjoyed telling a good joke.
Surviving are three sons, Thom (Diane) Robbins, Ted (Sally) Robbins, and Todd Robbins all of Delaware; a stepdaughter, Cheryl D. Lathrop of Port Allegany; a stepson, Rich (Melissa) Lathrop of Milford, DE; several grandchildren, several great-grand-children; and several nieces and nephews.
