June 2, 1929 ~ February 24, 2020
Blaine always knew him as Pete, and we called him Uncle Bill, but everyone would agree that he would give you "the coat off is back.” Someone always needed it more than him!
Born 7th of 9 children to Charles and Mable (Carlson) Robbins in the West Hills of Barstow, Washington, before coming to Blaine at age 7, in 1936. Pete received an Honorable Discharge from the Army National Guard in 1953. He worked at Boeing, with his last job at Blaine/Bay Refuse Department, prior to retirement.
He is survived by sister-in-law Jacquie Robbins of Lynden and Dorothy Robbins of Eugene Oregon.
Never married, his nephews and nieces are his legacy.
Robbins clan: Melinda Henderson, Tim Evans, Jeff Evans, Greg Robbins, Heidi Wegner, Chuck Robbins, Dan Robbins, Debbie Miller, Diane Lee, Cindy Lou Vogt, Jodi Beveridge.
