Robbie was born with Cerebral Palsy and severe intellectual and developmental  disabilities.  Despite his severe disabilities he was able to have a wonderful quality of life because of the dedication of his mother combined with the amazing staff at Advocates Inc., Robbie’s group home at West Hill Park in Natick MA and his day program Price Rehab in Newton, MA.   We want to thank David Thuku, and all of the wonderful staff that have cared for him over the years.  A special thank you as well to Tony, Mike and Melissa at Price Rehab for your compassion and patience with Robbie over the years.  Every single one of you who worked with Robbie is a truly  caring person.

Robbie was a special person who touched everyone who knew him.  He loved food of any kind, but especially butter cookies, country music, walks outdoors, the water, silly noises, and hugs.   He had a beautiful smile and laugh that will be missed by all.
