David enjoyed many wonderful summer vacations with family. One of his favorite trips was to British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, in a motorhome with his Washington family. He enjoyed fishing for trout and panning for gold while in Canada. When not on vacation, he enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing, playing golf with his boys, and playing the slots at the casino. David also enjoyed spending time playing with his grandchildren.
One member of his work family had this to say about David: "His retirement was hard on all of us. Everybody loved and respected "Pops," "Robbins' eggs," "The Mayor," "Dave," "Davey," or David. He really was a precious man who could make backbreaking work enjoyable and the crew you wanted to be on and stay on. The laughter and camaraderie were off the charts throughout the seasons. The very best of my 30 years with the city is because of the giant of a man, David Robbins." David loved his family and friends dearly.
