In his “larger-than-life” life, Robb was an AP/UPI award-winning photojournalist and Marine Corps reservist; MBA and healthcare executive; skilled public speaker and hospital Public Information Officer. Co-founder of the Memphis Mountaineers. An avid hiker, rock climber (summited Grand Teton twice - 30 years apart!), mountain climber (on 4 continents), and skier. Robb ran marathons, triathlons, and the Iron Man; bicycled the Seattle-to-Portland race several times, kayaked, and captained a sailboat. Several-time Indy 500 attendee, Corvette driver, and private pilot.

An amazing life led by a truly amazing man. He is already greatly missed.
